Earth Week is halfway done and so far has been a blast! Check out the full schedule, including links to our
Facebook events, below.
WE WANT YOUR IDEAS!
After Earth Week is complete, we will begin planning for residence hall move-out week in June. This is the period of time in which students in the residence halls begin packing up their things to take off for
the summer, and it’s also the time of year when we send the most material to the landfill! Each year Campus Recycling builds up a volunteer base to help students sort their material for recycling and donating – last year we donated
nearly 12,000 lbs of material to nonprofits!
Have an idea for how to increase recycling and donations of material during residence hall move-out? Please reply to this email or tell
us on Facebook. Thank you!
