Hello Mohamed and Pete,
The YMCA sent the attached photos showing some of the items collected from the students moving out, with Housing
and F&S support this month. They are very grateful and I also heard from some of the YMCA’s folks how very helpful the
F&S staff were, in particular.
I will be attending a check-in meeting tomorrow morning, and I believe Chancellor Jones asked Lowa to lead the
discussions over the next few months to provide campus assistance to this effort in the future. Lowa will include me in
those discussions, and I am very pleased that we are moving in that direction to support this great waste-reduction
effort!
Thanks,
Morgan

Alma, Morgan and Lowa,
I just wantedd to invite you to stop by the stock pavilion on Pennslvania sometime this week between 9 AM
and 4 PM. We finish up collections this week and have already starting loading items on the semi trailers. So
far I think this has been a great improvement this year and the staffs from F&S as well as Housing have been
very helpful.
A 5-10 minute tour will give you a sense of the operations at this point and I believe be very helpful in future
discussions about what is involved in this program. If you let us knowwhen you will stop by Mar or I can try
to be there to give you a uick tour but if that doesn't work, you can just stop by when it is convenient.
Thanks,
Mike

Subject: Re: Dump & Run funding confirmation
This is to confirm that it is acceptable for campus to provide support to the Dump and Run Program coordinated by the YMCA. This program allows residence halls to dispose of items students don’t want to take home with them at the end of the spring semester by having YMCA volunteers collect them. Incoming students get the opportunity to purchase these items in August as they return to school. If this program didn’t exist, these items would end up in a landfill. Furthermore University Housing would be responsible for their disposal.
Regarding truck usage, University staff should be the only individuals to drive University vehicles or ride in them. YMCA volunteers can load and unload the vehicles.
Please note that I have explained to the YMCA staff that this is a one‐time deal and that we won’t be able to offer the same type of support next year. They are working on providing me with more information about how they use the funding generated from this program.
I have copied all University staff I have I have talked to regarding this matter and they can offer their perspective, if I omitted anything.
Thanks to all of you for making this happen, this one time. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hi Lowa,
Please confirm (in writing) that it is acceptable for campus to provide support for the YMCA Dump & Run collections from our residence halls.
If so, F&S will contribute a truck and driver this spring, but the long‐term solution needs to identify the appropriate funding source.
Thanks,

Hi all, here's the beginnings of a logistical sheet for Residence Hall pickups. Dorm Pickups Sheet 2019
It's ordered in rough zones, with dorms closest to each other clumped together. We can discuss more regarding times and what each day might look like in terms of pickups tomorrow. All of you should be able to edit the sheet, so please feel free to make changes if need be.
In addition, here is a basic FAQ for donation sites with some info that might be helpful to you, but that can also be shared with the Resident Directors as well. We can make changes to this as well.
Thanks everyone, and I'm looking forward to tomorrow!

I was just on the phone with David about the meeting on Friday. I went ahead and reserved a room in Clark Hall for the meeting (room 222). We will plan on meeting in Clark Hall at 10:30, but David and I will touch base at the conclusion of my 9am meeting or your walkthrough which ever finishes first. If we can meet sooner, or during your rounds we will.

Hi Marc, Can we do a phone call with Bryan and the two of you at 10 Friday? You may not be through all the locations yet, but that’s when both Bryan and I can do a call.
Also, would you please send both of us any logistics plans you already have written up (even from previous years), so we can get a feeling for the driving needs?

The Division of Intercollegiate Athletics (DIA) is looking to become more involved with the SWATeams and sustainability on campus. ECBS proposed ideas such as decreasing refrigerator usage, making a climate action plan specifically for DIA, and promoting recycling at tailgates. Illini Lights Out had their first event on September 29, and it was a success. 284 light switches were turned off in 13 different buildings. The Green Labs Coordinator position is slowly making progress, but there is a concern with funding. Updates on the ECIP were made, and there is a push being made for mid-year checkpoints in the future. ECBS also discussed if AFMFA projects could be redefined in order to do more maintenance-based projects.
Morgan Johnston and Shawna Grady met to discuss the potential uses for the Transportation Building's ECIP funding award ($10,000). Options included additional recycling bins, LED lamps, power strips, battery recycling containers, and potentially a waste characterization study for the building (if available through ISTC).
Krannert Center has identified several projects to tackle with the ECIP award funding:
The dollar amounts listed are approximations. Any additional funds not used for these items would be allocated to expanding the stock of replacement LED bulbs.
The 2016 ECIP award winners were announced last Wednesday, and they will be given plaques at the annual Campus Sustainability Celebration this week, 10/16 from 4-6 at the Alice Campbell Alumni Center. Here is the letter.
Congratulations!
We would like to recognize your unit as a 2016 Energy Conservation Incentive Program (ECIP) award winner during the Campus Sustainability Celebration on Wednesday, October 26 from 4-6 p.m. at the Alice Campbell Alumni Center. For planning purposes, please let us know who will be accepting the award(s) on behalf of your unit by Friday, October 21.
Sustainability initiatives are at the core of Illinois’ commitment to its land-grant university mission. The Climate Leadership Commitment pledges the Urbana campus to be carbon neutral by 2050, which requires all students, staff, and employees working together to implement a dynamic, multi-disciplinary approach to campus sustainability.
The ECIP awards began in 2013 as a way to recognize outstanding individual and team efforts that move us closer to reaching our Illinois Climate Action Plan (iCAP) goals. The ECIP honors occupants of campus buildings that have reduced energy at the greatest level from one year to the next. This year more than $177,000 for improvement projects in winning facilities will be provided through the program.
Everyone researching, learning, and working in these nine buildings is an ECIP winner, and we encourage as many participants to join the celebration as possible. Hosted by Facilities & Services and the Institute for Sustainability, Energy, and Environment, the Campus Sustainability Celebration will cover the iCAP objectives, celebrate the diverse sustainability community, and recognize 2016 winners.
We look forward to you and your employees joining us to celebrate the ECIP winners and their contributions toward campus energy conservation.

Minutes from the Purchasing, Waste, and Recycling SWATeam on May 9, 2016. The meeting covered several topics, and was the last meeting with Bart Bartels in attendance.
The iCAP Working Group (iWG) met on May 31, 2016, to discuss and assess the SWATeam recommendation PWR007 Dump and Run. Following the iWG meeting, Ben McCall directly forwarded the recommendation to iSEE (Evan DeLucia) on June 10, 2016.
The PWR SWATeam submitted a recommendation stating, "We recommend a campus stakeholder lead an effort to expand and improve the effort to capture items during Move Out – collaborating with the YMCA on the Dump & Run. This action includes filling gaps in staff & volunteer coordination, campus space coordination, and facilitating vehicles and staff time to run them."
See attached the SWATeam recommendation PWR007 Dump and Run complete with comments from all the PWR SWATeam members.
The meeting minutes for the PWR SWATeam Meeting on 05-09-2016 is attached below.
The recommendations for Dump & Run is #4, located under "Old Business".
