Community Reuse Days

Community Reuse Days flyer 4-2012It’s Spring Cleaning time, and we're giving the entire MSU community a green option for getting rid of unwanted items.

April 16-21, the week leading up to Earth Day, will be our next biannual Community Reuse Days event, where all reusable items will be accepted from MSU faculty, staff, students, alumni, and retirees.

Confidential document shredding and e-waste recycling--the safe disposal of any electronic item--are FREE during Community Reuse Days. However, it should be noted that the event is for individuals, not businesses.

Typical goods include sporting equipment and apparel, non-upholstered furniture, electronics, appliances, media, knick knacks, and a wide assortment of other objects. Items received at the event will be recycled, resold, or donated to a non-profit organization. As with everything collected by the MSU Surplus Store & Recycling Center, sending material to the landfill is always a last resort.

Proceeds from re-sellable items will support our continuing increase of materials collected from campus and the community. The MSU Recycling Drop-off Center now accepts all colors of glass, and we hope to have solutions for recycling polystyrene (Styrofoam) and alkaline batteries in the future.

Donations will be accepted at the north dock of the MSU Surplus Store & Recycling Center from 7:00am to 3:00pm from Monday, April 16th through Friday, April 20th, as well as 9:00am to 3:00pm on Saturday, April 21st. Call (517) 355-1723 for more details.

Hope that you can sell some of the items that I brought in. Thank you for providing these services and helping me with my spring cleaning.
