Recycling Program - About

Welcome to the Susquehanna University Reycling Program! We take care of the recycling on campus, including all of the bins in residence halls and academic buildings, most of the the houses and other campus buildings on University Avenue, and at sporting events and other activities. The program is run by Dr. Katherine Straub, and consists of student recycling workers. Recycling can be a work study or a cash job. If you are interested in or have any questions about recycling, please contact the student recycling coordinator, Melissa Hartley, at hartleym@susqu.edu. Recycling employees can go to the Reycling Workers site for specific recycling instructions. For a list of where all the recycling bins are located, please go to the Buildings site. At the bottom of the page is some information about Recyclemania, a competition Susquehanna University participated this last year, and we will again this year. The following are guidelines for what can and cannot be recycled:

"The case for recycling is strong. The bottom line is clear. Recycling requires a trivial amoung of our time. Recycling saves money and reduces pollution. Recycling creates more jobs than landfilling or incineration. And a largely ignored but very important consideration, recycling reduces our need to dump our garbage in someone else's backyard."

-David Morris of the Institute of Local Self-Reliance, Recycling and the New York Times 30 Jul 96
