Looking Forward to (the day after) Christmas

No surprise, really, that people everywhere - including many of us here, at Your College - are looking forward to Christmas Day. But some of us in the Tall City are also looking forward to the day after Christmas.

"With 5 million tons of additional trash expected to enter the system during the holiday season, Keep Midland Beautiful is asking residents to recycle," Kathleen Thurber writes in this article from the Midland Reporter-Telegram. "Its staff said about 4 million tons of the trash created comes from wrapping paper and boxes, which can be recycled."

"They're challenging Midlanders to reduce their trash creation by one bag this season, which they say can be done by dropping off paper products, cardboard, aluminum cans and plastics at a nearby recycling container."

You can do it ... and Your College can help. You can find recycling containers here, on the MC Main Campus, in the south parking lot of the Al G. Langford Chaparral Center ... they're large and brightly-painted ... you can't miss them.

This is just one way that Your College is at work in Your Community ... and it's just a part of a year-end program at MC. Recycling on the campus is a joint effort among faculty, staff and students. To learn more about the Midland College Campus Recycling Program, you can visit their website at www.midland.edu/recycling/ or call 685-4618.
