Environmental audit measures campus trash
CATHY ANDREW
Contributing Writer
The environmental club recently
conducted an audit of the trash
accumulated during one business day
at Clackamas to evaluate the college's
recycling program.
Data was tabulated from the weight
and volume of 24-hours of garbage
generated on Wednesday» April 30. A
full report will be available today in
CC140;
There are various types of material
going out as solid waste, each day. The
focus of the audit is to help determine
how much trash can be recycled, and
how much the college could save in the
process.
According to Plant Services, the
college spends around $7,000 on
garbage disposal monthly. The data
from the audit indicated the cost of
disposal could be cut by 30 percent with
very minor improvements.
Wednesday was chosen because of
the number of students on campus and
the volume of garbage. A full attempt
was made to conduct the audit in a
scientific manner for credibility,
according to HEEL.
WTiat led to a full-blown audit?
October 1995, HEEL started working
to increase recycling on campus.
January 1996, the college switched
from “virgin” white paper to a 100 percent
recycled “unity” paper (which now
makes up 85 percent of paper use).
April. 1, 1996, a proclamation was
made by Plant Services to increase
recycling by placing bins throughout
the campus.
November 22,1996, after, (according
to HEEL) "no viable results," a student
protest was made. This led to the
creation of the recycling task force. The
task force has been meeting biweekly
since December 6,1996.
January 1997, a Recycling Assistant
Work Study position was created.
The task force assigned tasks where
needed, in order to get bins and a
recycling company. HEEL was told
nothing would move forward unless an
audit was don'e. There is only one step
left in setting up a recycling program:
choosing a company who will give the
college the best return for the recyclable
materials generated on campus.
In the future, HEEL states "the college
will not have to do a full-blown audit.
The data will be available from the
amount going out in the recycling bins.
The material already recycled was not
included in the audit. This means the
college stands to gain more revenue."

i^T'hree reasons mainly: first, they have night
A and weekend classes so I can get my
degree while working full time. Plus, there’s a low
ratio of students to teachers so you get good
instruction, and lastly, I like the atmosphere here.
That’s why I transferred to Marylhurst.”
