At Keesler, the CSC environmental office will be at the exchange, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., to distribute information and accept donations for the Cell Phones for Soldiers program that uses proceeds from recycling old cell phones to purchase calling cards for deployed troops. A universal waste turn-in is 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Building 4420 near the corner of Z and M Streets. Military organizations can drop off universal waste items such as used fluorescent bulbs, batteries (except alkaline) and mercury thermostats. Universal waste can also be turned in 9-10 a.m. every Tuesday at this location. Typical household hazardous waste containers, such as paints and used bulbs, are also accepted. Any unused consumer products can be collected and issued free of charge. Items that won't be accepted are oils, gasoline, aerosols, solvents, munitions, tires and white goods.
