just show up next week and participate or just watch.
When and where will we meet?
The event will officially begin at 3pm and end at 5pm at the Barbecue Pits 
next to Kresge
What should you wear?
Pants and boots or hikers.  Coveralls, gloves, and safety glasses will be 
provided.
What should you expect?
The goal of this event is to be fun, informative, and a chance to meet 
other people interested in the environment.  Volunteers will be sorting 
through bags of trash and recyclables from the Student Center, New House, 
and Building 17A.  These materials will be carefully segregated, weighed, 
and cataloged.  Food, beverages, and music will be provided at the event.
What is this all for?
Waste audit means finding out how much paper, glass, food waste, etc. is 
discarded in your waste stream. Waste characterization information helps in 
planning how to reduce waste, set up recycling programs, and conserve money 
and resources.
What do you do if it is raining?
The event will be postponed to Oct. 7 at the same time and in front of the 
Student Center.
