RECYCLING PROGRAM BEGINS IN AUGUSTINE HALL
Large 50-gal. recycling bins have been delivered to Augustine Hall and installed on each floor in the alcoves formerly used for telephone booths. Recycling Guidelines posters are framed and mounted on the wall above each recycling bin.
Augustine's RA's and RD's held floor meetings for all residents, to announce the recycling program, distribute recycling bins for each room, and explain the recycling procedures, and 'Dump Day' schedules. Students were asked to volunteer as Recycling Monitors for each floor to assist L&CS Teams, and oversee recycling collection on 'Dump Days'.
Student Teams made a brief presentation to the residents on their respective floors to explain the rationale for the recycling program, educate, and motivate the residents to participate in the program. The Teams brought a recycling fact sheet, statistics, and posters.
Each bin is mounted with or contains the following:
* Exterior: An identifying room number sticker
* Exterior: A large sticker containing a list of Recycling Guidelines
* An 8.5 x 11 poster with a copy of the Recycling Guidelines
* Bin Contract and Recycling Pledge which each student resident must sign;
(1 signed copy will be returned to the RA; the other copy is for the student);
Contract - Pledge (composed and edited by inspired Student Team members-- parody intentional):
Recycling Bin Contract and Pledge
