Benida Mann, Steve Lincoln, and Igancio Prado have been working with the recycling coordinator at Allied Waste to work on a recycling program for our dorms!
We3 are very excited to hear about this great initiative! Tenochca will be the first dorm used as an example for this pilot program. Allied Waste currently picks up recycling on campus so they are simply adding another stop to their route. Presently, a search for funding options is in the works, but so far they have found a great alternative for blue recycle bins in each dorm room (which can be very costly). They are proposing to give every student living in the dorms (about 4,000) a reusable bag made from recycled materials, with the hope that the students will take these down to the recycling center or large 90 gallon bins that will be on each floor. The bags are coated with a special covering, which prevents them from getting sticky.
If you have any suggestions for educational campaigns please direct your comments to Erin and she can give feed back to Residential Hall Association (RHA).
