Subject: Earth Day Recycling extravaganza at EIU Wednesday, April 22

To celebrate Earth Day this year the Environmental Awareness Committee for the Resident Halls is hosting drop off points for items that aren't normally recycled for the community and campus. We will be having points at the Library and South quad from 10 to 5 and potentially at the O'Brien stadium from 3 to 7, which will only be open for those with vehicles. If you would like to volunteer to work at one of the drop off points for hour long shifts, feel free to contact Julia Novotny at janovotny@eiu.edu.
