You can find boxes for magazines and other recyclables that do not require shredding at the back of the mailroom (rm. 130); if no boxes are available, please bring your own. Filled boxes will be picked up periodically from the back of the mailroom. Materials must be boxed, no tied bundles or loose papers. Near the boxes are shredding bins, for file folders, journals and paper of all weights and colors. Paperclips, staples and binder clips need not be removed before shredding. The bins are on wheels and can be rolled to your location, but please return them to the mailroom by 4:30 p.m. each day.Please do not put the following items into the shredding bins: hard cover books, three-ring binders, wood, plastic, or large metal items. Continue to place newspapers in the blue bin by the elevator. Remove the contents from three-ring binders, which can go to SWAP. If you have papers with longer term value, see the UW Archives and Records Management website for information. If you have questions or furniture or other large items to purge, please contact Jonie Bonfield, facilities manager, 262-0017, jbonfield@wisc.edu.
