Recycling on the Quad
Project Description
This project will improve the waste process in and around the Quad. First the project will provide 20 new recycling bins to be paired with existing bins, turning 40 stand-alone containers into 30 waste/ recycling stations. Then the bin tops will be sand blasted if needed, painted, and signage will be added to color code and clearly indicate that each station has one bin for recycling and one bin for only landfill material. In addition, signage will be placed in buildings on the Quad to launch the new standards and clarify what can be recycled. These new signs will assist to inform a community that currently believes all material is sorted on site.The new signs and dual bin systems will engage the consumer by providing a choice, along with the immediate realization that the status quo has changed. To measure the impact from this project, waste audits will be conducted before and after the proposed changes. Student participation will be sought for the audit and promotional parts of this project. Student volunteers are needed to assist with the education regarding the system.
