The College of Saint Rose is helping with Terracycle, an environmental effort to recycle used writing instruments.
Students, staff, and faculty are encouraged to drop off used pens, markers, and pencils. Once collected, these items will then be re-produced into new products.
Two collection bins will be set up on campus for donations; one in the Mailroom at the Events and Athletics Center and another by the Circulation Desk in the Library.
The program is being hosted by Sanford Brands and Staple’s Advantage. For each writing instrument collected, Sanford will donate two cents to Relay for Life. Drop off all unwanted, used pens at a collection box to help with two charitable causes.
Keeping the campus “green” has been an ongoing effort at The College of Saint Rose, and Terracycle is an opportunity for students to make use of their unwanted and no longer usable writing utensils.
