Green Initiative at UAB is sponsoring a UAB Green Day Wednesday, Sept. 24 in the Mini-Park from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. The student and alumni group will be collecting recyclables to demonstrate the support for recycling at UAB. Make plans to drop off your paper, plastics, aluminum and certain personal electronics to be recycled. (Remember, UAB equipment must be returned to the university.) For more information, contact UABgreen@gmail.com.

The types of electronics that will be recycled are computer components, hard drives, monitors, keyboards/mice, cables, power supplies, printers, fax machines, telephones, cell phones, scanners, printer cartridges, battery back-ups and copiers.  Green Initiative is partnering on this effort with local companies Birmingham Recycling and Recovery and Technical Knockout.
