The service will prevent the potentially hazardous materials from going to landfills or being sent to developing nations for disposal. A list of allowable materials is available at http://www.purdue.edu/sustainability. Students and staff will be on hand to unload your materials from your vehicle on the east side of the Armory parking lot in between Johnson Hall of Nursing and Schleman Hall of Student Services or you may bring your items to a tent located on the northwest side of Johnson Hall near the Stadium Mall. n Purdue faculty and staff will be able to test-drive the all-electric THINK City car. The lithium-ion battery-powered urban commuter produces zero emissions and is four times more energy efficient than a conventional vehicle. The City will be offered for purchase through a discount program designed to encourage increased electric car use. This winter Purdue partnered with General Electric to begin installing plug-in car chargers across campus. n Purdue's grounds department, which was instrumental in helping the university achieve and maintain its Tree Campus USA status, will hand out free red oak samplings to the first 200 attendees. The Tree Campus USA designation is awarded by the Arbor Day Foundation to recognize excellence in campus tree management. n Purdue employees can dispose of unwanted office supplies such as pen and folder holders and get what they need for free at an office supply exchange from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in the Purdue Memorial Union, Room 118.
