Changes needed for recycling

Every day, students on campus throw away various items and most of the trash that is picked up from the classrooms ends up in local landfills.

A lot of the “trash” that is thrown away by students is recyclable. Most students on campus are aware of what recycling is, or at least the notion of recycling, but many might not have a clear understanding of what it actually entails.

The City College Waste Management Department has put up 100 posters around campus to make students aware of the importance of recycling and how they can help make a change on campus.

“Only 15 percent of what is collected around campus is trash,” said Karen Chewning, a City College operations technician. “The rest of it is recyclables.”

Students don’t seem to be doing their part in recycling on campus, and that’s why waste management has put up the posters, according to Chewning on what sort of things to throw in recycling bins, namely empty drink containers, paper cups, clean paper and plastic trays and, of course, newspapers and magazines. The things that shouldn’t be thrown in recycle bins include plastics that are non-recyclable, styrofoam and batteries.

Although waste management is making an effort on campus, Chewning said they would still like to see more done. However, with little time for them to actually lead workshops or seminars on the matter, they would want to see more peer involvement.

“I would like to see an educational campaign that is run by the students,” Chewning said.

Chewning said campus  officials hope that the information on the posters will inform students about proper ways to recycle and change student behavior.
