Projects Updates for place: Public Safety Building

  3. Outfitting main quads with 3-bins

    Associated Project(s): 
    Indoor Bin Update

    Members of the Zero Waste Team analyzed the main buildings in each of the three central quads. Locations of current 3-bins were noted as well as areas where more were needed. The plan is to transition away from single flow trash and recycling bins towards a system where only 3-bins are used in main hallways. This will ensure that there are well marked bins in highly visible areas and will condense the many bins that need to be serviced by university workers into fewer overall bins. Overall this initiative will lead to improved waste management efficiency and increased recycling rates across the campus.

All unclaimed bicycles will be donated after that date.
