The students are handling the awareness and promotion of the pilot. They consulted with building supervisors, custodians, and recycling volunteers. With help from students and building occupants, the group hopes the pilot will be successful and that funding will be available to continue and expand the program beyond the pilot stage. The time has come to evaluate our white paper collection program in an effort to make it more economically feasible. As we reviewed the volume average of each building and consulted with the custodial staff, statistics showed that less than 30 buildings fill their large recycling bins every week.
Several buildings fill their large bins on an average of every other week.
Many buildings can go a month or more before their large recycling bins need emptying. With this in mind, we came up with a revised white paper collection schedule. Begins March 2. The collection day will be every Tuesday. The collection days will be the 1 st and 3 rd Thursdays of the month.
