Physical plant staff on their own recycles batteries. Even though the recycling program recycles aluminum cans, many of the aluminum can recycling efforts are initiated by staff on their own. The workstudies collect from the various buildings on campus, according to a weekly schedule. The building occupants are responsible for centralizing recyclables to the recycling receptacles, primarily 23 gallon barrels. When available, desk side recycling containers are available for recycling participants.
Many people choose to convert an old box into a desk side recycling container.
The receptacles are usually located in the hallways of each facility. The materials are removed from the buildings using a dolly and barrels. The recycling receptacles are not exchanged out because of the need for cleanliness. Recyclable toner cartridges, styrofoam packaging, transparencies, video cassettes, diskettes, and plastic 6-pack rings are stored at the Office of Physical Plant. In classroom and administration buildings, the recycling containers for paper and aluminum cans are located in the hallway on each floor.
