Accepted items include glass, plastics, light bulbs, gently used clothing and small electronics.
The event is sponsored by the Residence Hall Association's Environmental Awareness Committee and local recycling firms Veolia and eRecycling.
Volunteers wanted for Panther Service Day
Students, faculty, staff, alumni and local residents are invited to participate in the seventh annual Panther Service Day on Saturday.
Panther Service Day 2009 will begin with an EIU/Coles County Community Brunch, sponsored by the EIU Alumni Association, from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. in the front of Old Main, followed by an opening ceremony. In case of inclement weather, the brunch will be moved inside. From noon to 4 p.m., participants will be assigned specific service projects.
