Past Initiatives have included:

Participation in Recyclemania

Campus Education & Outreach

Athletics Recycling Improvements

Give & Go Move-Out Program

Outdoor Recycling

Above: Two student volunteers proudly display one of many blue desk-side paper recycling bins purchased for distribution throughout the academic buildings.  An old, out-of-use, recycling bin is shown in the foreground.  New bins, selected based on their compact and sleek designs, have already shown to be more practical for use in high traffic locations.
