Copy paper - blue bins in all offices, emptied regularly for recycling. Scheme is administered by Anne McKeown, extension 6293, email recycle@bbk.ac.uk.

Please remember to use the bins and help us help Birkbeck play its part in helping the environment, for every 3 sacks we dispose of in this way, ONE TREE is saved.
Ink and Toner Cartridges
Take your used ink and toner cartridges to Harry Lee's team in the General Office/ Post Room in Malet Street.
Men's Clothing
Not strictly work related but a good cause anyway. If you have any casual men's clothing in reasonable condition please bring to Esther McKaig in room 351 Malet Street. Esther will arrange for distribution to the London homeless.
Envelopes - Adhesives and address labels make recycling the paper difficult. However, do reuse them wherever possible for internal and external mail. Multi use internal envelopes are another option. These can be obtained via the General Office. Stamps from envelopes are welcomed by some charities. Used stamps can be sent to Ricky King, Attendant Supervisor, Malet Street.
