The Physics Department is recycling used overhead transparencies, old floppy disks (3.5-inch only),
unwanted CDs and jewel cases.
If you have any of these items and would like them recycled, please send them via campus mail to the
Physics Department, attn: Recycling.
Thomas Kaeding, visiting assistant professor, is organizing the project.
Disks and CDs will be sent to GreenDisk (www.greendisk.com). Overhead transparencies will be sent to 3M's
recycling program (www.3m.com/meetings/trans/515_film.html).
End users throw away well over one billion diskettes each year, according to GreenDisk's Web site.
Meanwhile, the 3M Transparency Recycling Program reports that about 15 million pounds of transparency
film are dumped into landfills annually.
