  1. Ending the PPE single use mask recycling program

    Associated Project(s): 

    For the time being, the PPE single use mask recycling program will be ending, and F&S will work with facilities across campus to remove boxes from the buildings and return the masks to the original vendor. The decision was made based on the lowered demand for disposable mask recycling, and the observation that many boxes across campus were becoming general trash bins.

    13 boxes total were rounded up from campus to be returned to the recycler.

    F&S partnered with TerraCycle to collect disposable masks for recycling. The best locations for collection boxes were determined through collaboration with departments and units. The program is offered at no cost to individual units and is supplemented through Student Sustainability Committee (SSC) funding.
