Managing recyclable material
LLCC Facilities Services would like to ask for your help managing recyclable material. Some of our recycling dumpsters have been consistently overloaded lately with intact cardboard boxes. This has caused the college to incur additional fees. Please help us to eliminate unnecessary costs by breaking down boxes before throwing them into the recycling dumpsters.
As always, your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
