Maintenance Request Form

The resurrected Recycling program was kicked off March 1, 2000. We currently have numerous recycling containers throughout campus. You may put glass, paper, aluminum, and small cardboard packaging in the appropriate containers. You may mix recyclables in the blue recycling containers only. All contents are collected and put in a seperate bin from all trash content. Please do not mix trash into any of the containers for this will contaminate what has been placed in these containers and all contents will be lost.

Currently cardboard is also recycled. Please break down your boxes and transport to the appropriate container behind Whitewater Hall. We receive no monetary compensation for this; we pay the recycling company to provide this service.

All receiving (except Library and Bookstore) is received at the docks in Springwood Hall. This includes UPS, RPL, RPD, Fed Ex, DHL, and any shipments that arrive by trucking firms. If you have an exceptionally large order that is to be delivered by truck, please advise Physical Facilities so that an appropriate number of staff will be available to help unload. Also, if you are expecting an overnight shipment that is vitally important, be sure to advise Physical Facilities so arrangements for immediate delivery can be made upon arrival.
