Julia, Luke, Savannah, Anthony, and other student leaders,

Just thought I’d reach out (late, sorry) to see if you or anyone from your orgs or other student orgs you might know or work with might want to come out for the UT Office of Sustainability’s celebration of America Recycles Day next Wed, 11/15 at the UTK Public Recycling Drop-Off. If you’re not familiar, that’s at the UT Warehouse at 2121 Stephenson Drive, dock 25. Same building as Parking and Transportation Services, but on the other end.

We’ll be out there from 3-6pm next Wed 11/15. We’re partnering with Keep Knoxville Beautiful (KKB), and right now have Fourth&Glass (who will have their little glass-to-sand crusher out there) and I believe KnoxFill who are also coming. We’ll have food and a live-remote from WUTK radio. We’re sending out radio blasts on WUOT and WUTK radio stations starting this week.

We’re promoting recycling in general, but particularly focusing on the items that are harder to recycle that we take like plastic film, electronics, batteries, and glass bottles/jars.

Let me know if you or your orgs are able/want to participate. We’d love to have you come out, even just for part of the time.

Thanks!

-Jay
