[UVic-sustainability] News and Events for the Week of Mar 30th

Details: Published on Monday, 30 March 2015 15:00; Written by editor

This is the last week of classes, which means move out is approaching, and all the left over stuff that come with it. Thankfully, University of Victoria Sustainability Project - UVSP, and ElectroRecycle are collaborating to reduce campus electronic waste by offering a recycling drop off for small appliances today and tomorrow (March 30th and 31st). Bring in items you might otherwise leave behind so they can be properly recycled. Check out the Facebook event for more details.

The UVSS is also hosting a “dump and run” for all you Res students out there on April 13th and 14th. This event will help collect things for the UVic Freestore, so if you have good stuff that you don't want anymore, please note those dates. Stay tuned for more details on the Dump and Run.
