Weekly Update for Zero Waste

Posted by Marya Ryan on July 8, 2018

Hi Pete and Shawn—

Here are the zero-waste activities for the week: Morgan, Brent Lewis, and I met with Shawn Hopkins of Bigbelly to discuss possibilities for indoor bins. 

  • I responded some emails about styrofoam recycling.
  • I participated in a CURC listserv discussion about conveyor belt sorting systems. I asked Morgan about any pictures, videos, schematics, and data we might be able to share,
  • I drafted a semesterly report and scope-and-timeline change request for the SSC funding to see if they can give us another year and if we can focus the remaining funds on replacing the outdoor bins with dual bins. Morgan has the draft to review. 
  • I responded to an inquiry from La Casa Cultural Latina about participating in the glove recycling program. 

Best regards,
Marya Ryan
