More Than Words Recycling Program
December 2011

In keeping with our community college mission and our commitment to sustainability, Massasoit has partnered with More Than Words to recycle books, audio books, music CDs, DVDs, and video games on our Brockton campus.

Located in Waltham, More Than Words is a local, non-profit social enterprise that empowers youth who are in the foster care system, court involved, homeless, or out of school to take charge of their lives by taking charge of a business. More Than Words youth work as a team to manage their own retail and online bookstore and cafe, developing real skills and self-confidence as they transition to adulthood.

So, clear your shelves and transform lives! Recycle your used books, audio books, music CDs, DVDs, and video games by placing them in the More Than Words container behind the Student Center on our Brockton campus. You will not only be recycling but contributing to a worthy cause – and your donations are tax-deductible!*

More Than Words is not able to accept encyclopedias, magazines or periodicals, music cassettes, or mass market fiction books. Please click here for a complete list of items that can be recycled.

Please call Holly States (ext. 1377)
or Frances Lim (ext. 1861) if you have questions.

*Tax-deduction receipt forms are available
from Holly States: LA Bldg., Faculty & Instruction Offices, Room LA340
(hstates@massasoit.mass.edu, ext. 1377)

Zero Waste Day

October 2011

This recycling event is intended to bring awareness about recycling and reducing waste, to encourage people to recycle more and waste less, and to educate them about what can and can’t be recycled. People can bring in any of the items listed below to recycle for free, and if they do they’ll receive a raffle ticket for a chance to win a prize. There will be free Coke® give-aways, recycling and composting contests, a composting demonstration, information about our single-stream recycling program and sustainable landscaping, and a “dumpster dive” to see what’s in Massasoit’s trash (specifically, to show all the materials that could be recycled but are thrown in the trash instead).

If you have any questions, please contact Ann-Marie at x1619 or Frances at x1861
or email: mccrecycles@gmail.com
