University Bookstore and Staples Recycling Initiative

The University of Arkansas Bookstore is proud to be participating in a program to help recycle used inkjet and toner cartridges, dead rechargeable batteries and old cellular phones. Normally these items would get thrown in the trash and the dangerous chemicals inside these items would leach into the environment. By recycling these items, you not only keep dangerous chemicals out of the environment, but you also help make these products cheaper through re-use.

Items Accepted under the University Bookstore's new recycling program:

  • All alkaline batteries
  • All rechargeable batteries
  • Inkjet and toner cartridges
  • Broken cellular phones
Drop off locations:
  • Hotz Hall - 1st Floor Main Lobby
  • Mullins Library
  • Administration Building - 4th Floor
  • Kimpel Hall - 2nd Floor Student Lobby
  • Harmon Parking Deck - The Parking Spot
  • Old Main - 2nd Floor Hallway
  • Facilities Management
  • University Bookstore - Loading Dock
