Campus Recycling true to its roots ■The program, established in 1989, has grown to include 45 student workers By Chris Ryan for the Emerald Like the University, the Campus Recycling Program is capitalizing on its reputation as an environmen tal leader as it enters its second decade on campus. The program, established in 1989, relies on the belief that a col lege campus is an ideal place to practice methods of sustainability — using, improving and maintain ing natural resources. The program offers waste reduction, recycling and educational opportunities for all departments and members of the campus community. Before the group was made official in 1990, the effort consisted mostly of volunteers from Environmental Studies classes and student groups. ‘The program started in 1989 as a grassroot student movement from the Survival Center,” Recycling Pro gram Director Karyn Kaplan said. “When it started, there were two co directors and four students.” As environmental awareness has grown over the last decade, so has the Campus Recycling Program. “Now we have five full-time staff and 45 students,” Kaplan said. The student workers perform re cycling collection and processing duties for the entire University, which supplies part of their fund ing. The remainder of the budget originates from student incidental fees and contracts with Facilities Services and University Housing, as well as paper revenue. Though centered on functional operations, the Campus Recycling Program also comprises a strong ed ucational element. Each summer, student employees tour mills to see the full recycling process in action and are involved in local recycling conferences. The size of the group and their co operative effort allows them to maintain their goals. “The way we rely on each other and work together enhances our ability to provide a great service to the University,” Housing Recycling Coordinator Robyn Hathcock said. The Campus Recycling Program is in charge of the 20 outdoor collection areas on campus. They take waste from the various collection areas and place them in large collection bins lo cated at Student Facilities. “Last year, the University recy cled 45 percent of their waste,” Ka plan said. “Our goal is to continue waste-reduction activities and fo cus on resource conservation.” The group is well-known and re spected on campus, and the recy cling icon that adorns their vehicles is synonymous with their earth friendly work. “It’s a relief to see that people are making this big of an effort,” said junior sociology major Andy Ott. “They’re not doing it to make mon ey; they’re doing it in the name of sustainability.” Campus Recycling operates year round from Monday to Friday, 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. For more information, visit its Web site at http://dark wing.uoregon.edu/~recycle, or call 346-1529. 0T0293 Campus Ministry M Street newinanctr >'00pm & Sun 9:00am, «day Nights 9:00pm Music Ministry j Social Justice Service Projects , Bible Studies Prayer Retreats Leadership Opportunities you»u„ Newman ci OUR HOMe AWAY from
