• Another way to recycle your scrap paper – ASU Print Lab (https://print.asu.edu/) will make notepads! “…just send [your] old paper scraps to us via interoffice mail with contact info and the desired padding instructions (size, number of sheets per pad) and we can take care of it from there! We can apply a glue strip across the back of sheets (or cut down to your desired size) so they can be used as notepads.”
