Kevin Schmidt, a senior engineering technician, is one of hundreds of faculty, staff and students from throughout the College of Engineering who completed the largest Green Clean Day ever held on the U-M campus. In one day (May 30), offices, labs, classrooms and long-forgotten areas were emptied of more than 8,200 pounds of various items. Participants collected almost 4,000 pounds of office supplies, 1,800 pounds of books and 1,200 pounds of electronics. Recycle Ann Arbor collected almost 400 pounds of materials to re-distribute to the community. Additionally, 400 bottles of various chemicals were collected for re-use or proper disposal.
