Ongoing Events
- Ink Jet Cartridge Recycling - Millions of new cartridges are sold each year and 86% of them end up in our landfills as trash. Recycling inkjet cartridges reduces total solid waste and the amount of limited natural resources required to produce new cartridges. Please deposit any small (fit in the palm of your hand - HP, Cannon, Lexmark, Epson, etc.) used cartridges into collection boxes located around campus. For more information about this recycling project, contact Stella Orechia in G100C, (425) 564-2353, sorechia@bcc.ctc.edu.
