Cardboard Recycling
Yesterday's post showed a spike in recycling every third month. Did that leave you wondering why we recycle cardboard infrequently? The College has a 30 cubic yard roll-off compactor located behind the Facilities building. Cardboard from around campus is collected by housekeepers and other staff, transported down to the compactor, and accumulated until it is picked up. The College earns money back from WM for each ton of cardboard which is collected and recycled.

I've heard that schools and restaurants have saved quite a bit of money with cardboard recycling. In fact, just about any business can save a bunch by recycling. Think about it, just about everyone deals with tons of cardboard boxes, and most don't know what to do with them. I think recycling is a good thing to do with all those boxes. http://www.sunwestmetals.com/?id=commercial
