The SUNY Canton SAAC has begun a fundraising event that will keep the earth clean by recycling used inkjet and laser printer cartridges and cell phones. SAAC will set up recycling boxes in buildings throughout campus. Please use these boxes to drop off used cartridges and cell phones. This green effort will protect the world's oil resources and raise money for SUNY Canton's growing athletic programs. For more information contact Kate Thomas-Moody at 386-7976.
