Recycle Your Shipping Boxes

Do you have extra shipping boxes and/or packing material not being used?
Do you currently have 10 empty Amazon boxes piling up in your living room/office?

If the answer is yes, I've got just the place for you to bring them.

Here in Shipping and Receiving, we love to re-use shipping boxes. Students, faculty and staff may re-use these boxes to send out personal/department packages. This helps us keep the costs of supplies down and who doesn't want to go green by 2019!

If you have boxes you would like to recycle, please break them down and bring them to Shipping and Receiving located on the lower level of Christensen Center.

If you have questions or would like more information, please contact Gao Vang @ x1054 or vanggao@augsburg.edu
