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,
