Roibal is working with Jim Eiseman, vice president for Student Affairs, to create a better recycling system. Some students agree. Most of the stuff in the convenience store is plastic. Kukulski said she doesn't think that Loyola promotes much recycling, but said she has seen major improvements since her freshman year. She also said convenience is the crucial element for a successful recycling program.
Students are more likely to recycle if the bins are in a convenient location.
Materials that are not recycled waste energy and resources. Can-recycling bins are easy to find in the new residence hall but not in Buddig Hall. There are no paper-recycling bins near garbage areas in the residence halls. Jonathan Cordier, English writing freshman, said that increasing awareness of the recycling programs available would increase participation. Cordier, who is a desk assistant in all three residence halls says that he believes that having recycling programs now will have a positive effect in the future.
