Recycling

Recycling is one of the easiest, and most apparent, of many sustainable acts in our campus community. From paper to plastics to aluminum, we all handle many recyclable products every day. It only takes one second to decide to recycle these items as opposed to placing them in a container destined for the landfill. As part of our common, Christian commitment to care for God's creation, we hope that you will choose to recycle every time you deal with recyclable materials. Read on for information about what can be recycled, where to recycle, and some information about the value of recycling for our community and the broader environment.

We may recycle any of these materials in any recycling container or dumpster across campus:

• White paper
• Cardboard
• Colored paper of all weights and types
• Empty aluminum cans and other aluminum items
• Empty plastic bottles and other plastics graded #1-#7

How Can We Help?

During the Spring 2009 semester, two things will be happening on the recycling front:

• Container Assembly and Deployment
  Several of our campus facilities have already been fitted with plastic, aluminum and paper recycling containers. As the semester goes on, we will be continuing this process, and we will be looking for volunteers to assist us with assembly and placement of these containers.
