Remove paper from binders and large binder clips.

A&T employees will be allowed to dispose of university documents, personal documents and personal electronics. Disposal of A&T electronics is prohibited. Employees are required to follow the university’s electronic disposal process. Contact Property Management for more information.

Disposal of the items collected at this event is being handled by Shred-it and Powerhouse Recycling for a third year. Waste Management Institute’s Earth & Environmental Science Club students also have volunteered to assist patrons at this event.

Upon arrival, look for the blue and gold balloons in parking lot No. 38, across from the University Police Department. The event may end early if the shred truck and electronic recycling truck reach capacity.
