FIRST
AID/ADULT CPR TRAINING
Three new Automatic External Defibrillators (AED’s) have recently been
installed on campus in the PUB, Gym and Dental Hygiene Clinic.
The
Safety & Security Department wants to have as many campus employees as
possible trained in first aid and adult CPR with the AED, so we are offering
several free classes during August and September. Depending on interest,
more classes may be offered during Fall Quarter. The classes will also
include an overview of shock and seizure care. Each class will be a
total of four hours. All are welcome to attend, whether you have no first
aid/CPR training at all or want to be recertified. All successful
participants will receive a valid first aid/CPR certification card.
The
following dates/times for classes are tentative depending on how many people
sign up. Each class has 12 openings, so please respond by Wednesday, August
13th to reserve your spot in class.
August
28th & 29th (Thurs, Fri) – 8:30am-10:30am each day.
This is one class, so you will need to be available both days.

September 5th (Fri) – 8:30am-12:30pm
September 10th (Wed) – 8:30am-12:30pm

SCC NAMED 2008 AWARD WINNER FOR RECYCLING PROGRAM
 SCC was the only community college (or university) recognized as one of
the 2008 Best Workplaces for Recycling by King County's Garbage and
Recycling Services within the Solid Waste Division.
The college met the required criteria for recognition of this award. In
the second year of the program, the number of businesses and organizations
awarded the title of Best Workplaces for Recycling more than doubled, from
21 to 50. These workplaces demonstrated the very best recycling
programs in their business practices and for the people they serve.
Recognition will include having a profile of our college
posted on the Solid Waste Division’s web site and there will be a bulletin
released to the press today, July 17th. We will also receive a paper
certificate, an electronic 2008 Best Workplace for Recycling logo for our
web site and window clings.

RECYCLING IS NOW EASIER AT SCC
Our college started a new recycling program partnership with a company
called CleanScapes on July 1, 2008. This will allow everyone on campus to
more easily recycle as this company does not require us to separate
recycling streams. The only exception is the green recycle bins designated
for food scrap items only inside the PUB. The other big bonus for using this
company is their recycling program services are free of charge. We are
already paying for them as part of our garbage bill.
We can now place paper and cardboard, newspaper, mixed paper, phone
books, shredded paper, paper bags, plastic bottles, dairy tubs, glass
bottles and jars, and aluminum and metal cans into the same recycling bins.
Yes, this includes those blue recycling bins you see in the PUB and other
locations, along with the round cardboard recycling bins you see at the
different buildings on campus. Facilities personnel will pick up all of the
large and small recycling bins and place the combined contents into one of
three large recycling containers located around the campus, making them
ready for pickup by CleanScapes each Tuesday. The recycling tonnage will be
tracked.
