On-Campus Recycling Made Easy
Departments can now order recycling bins
for their offices and suites online through
the Green UH website at
http://www.uh.edu/af/greenUH/ using the
“Order Recycle Bins” link.
The
University has announced enhancements that
will make on-campus recycling easier;
furthermore the university is in the process
of installing more than 240 outdoor
recycling bins located throughout the UH
campus.
“Recycling and being good stewards of the
environment are about changing behavior,”
said Emily Messa, assistant vice president
for university services. “In order to change
that behavior you need to make recycling
easy and convenient for people so they’ll be
inclined to do it.” says Messa
For
convenience, the bins are strategically
placed next to existing outdoor trash
receptacles, but these bins are for aluminum
cans and plastic bottles. In order to
recognize which bottles, or aluminum cans
are capable of being recycled, located on
the bottom of the container will be a number
one or two inside of a triangle.
A
map of the current outdoor recycling bins is
now available on the “Green
UH” web site.
