Wondering where to take your broken down cardboard boxes or empty the small paper recycling bin within your office? MU student Chris Miller created a paper and cardboard map in spring 2019 to help you know where to go to find the nearest recycling area on campus. Miller who graduated in 2019 studied soil, environmental and atmospheric sciences.
