    1)      Campus-wide infrastructure, $29,750: Expanding the “Dual bins on the Quad” to north of Green and eastward to Goodwin Avenue, in collaboration with F&S Superintendent of Grounds Ryan Welch.  Ryan’s Grounds workers are mapping the existing bins, as a first step.  All of this funding is for the physical infrastructure (bins and lids, etc.).

  9. Recycling Bin Estimate

    Decrease Wasteful Practices through Behavior Change

    I had some time this morning and did a super rough estimate of the number of waste bin on campus.  This is a simple extrapolation from the bins per square foot in the waste audits that ISTC did.  For larger size recycling bins, an extremely rough estimate comes to about 8800 landfill and recycling bins in campus buildings. - Morgan

  10. examples from Ohio State

    Associated Project(s): 
    Decrease Wasteful Practices through Behavior Change

    Here are the Zero Waste Event links from Ohio State University.  They seem to be setting the standard for such events, especially when it comes to sporting events.  The first link is for events in general.  Anyone organizing a campus event can request assistance to achieve zero-waste.  Some locations require additional fees but many do not.  They rely heavily on the organizers to push the educational aspects. Facilities just supplies the bins and takes care of the logistics.
