<h3><b>**July is Clean out Your Files Month!</b></h3><font size=3>This
month, The Working Group Recycling Committee, in partnership with the
Department of Facilities, is again holding our annual paper recycling
drive: <b>Clean Out Your Files Month. <br><br>
During the July 2005 Clean Out Your Files Month, the mixed paper
recycling total was 70.3 tons, the highest tonnage ever, and a 12 ton
jump from the June 2005 total. This</font><font size=3 color="#008000">
</font><font size=3>increase
supported</font><font size=3 color="#008000"> </font><font size=3>our
goal of a campus-wide recycling rate of 40% in 2005, and therefore helped
MIT win the City of Cambridge "Go Green Award for Large
Businesses" in the category of waste reduction. Your recycling
efforts make a difference! <br><br>
</b>*The best way to recycle the paper generated from cleaning out your
files is to utilize the blue or grey desk side bins in your office. If
you need a desk side bin, contact
<a href="mailto:recycling@mit.edu">recycling@mit.edu</a>, or purchase one
from Office Depot for only $3.00, Item # 373860. <br><br>
*If you fill up your local bins during your clean up you can,
alternatively, bring your paper recycling to one of many large dedicated
totes that the Department of Facilities has placed in building lobbies
all around campus. For the locations of these bins please see:
