So far the recycling efforts on campus have been met with mixed feelings. Trucco has heard good things about the single stream recycling that allows students to recycling everything in the same bin, rather than sort through paper, plastic and other items. However, Owens has still received news that students are confused about where recycling bins and dumpsters are.
White recycling dumpsters are behind each of the dorms, and behind Residence Village for the convenience of students (trash dumpsters are dark). Outdoor ecycling bins, a large majority of them are blue, can be found around campus, including the front of the Student Center. In addition, recycling bins have been added to the Field House where various athletic events take place.
Each student room has a bin for trash and one for recyling. Recycling bins have a large sticker that lists what can and cannot be recycled.
Beginning this school the Sustainability Committee will a range of issues, including education about recycling and the bus passes. One of the issues Owens now faces is finding the most efficient way to distribute bus passes in the Spring, since the stickers will not automatically be on student IDs again.
Student Government, Physical Plant, and SPEAK are all to thank for taking the first steps to creating a more Sustainable Regis.
