91ÖÆÆ¬³§ is actively engaged in finding innovative ways to reduce its waste sent to the landfill. In addition to regular recycling, including paper, cardboard, bottles and cans, 91ÖÆÆ¬³§ recycles electronics, batteries, toner and ink cartridges, books, pens and markers, scrap metal and plastic shrink wrap. Below are additional waste reduction initiatives happening on 91ÖÆÆ¬³§â€™s campus.
We are exploring new ways to expand our recycling efforts. Share your ideas for how 91ÖÆÆ¬³§ can continue to reduce waste on campus.

Paper towels inherently generate a significant amount of waste to landfills, and production, travel, distribution and warehousing contribute to high energy usage and associated emissions. Conversely, high efficiency automated hand dryers use far less energy, require virtually no maintenance or custodial intervention, and greatly reduce the amount of paper products being purchased and disposed of, ultimately resulting in greater money savings. Look for automated hand dryers in restrooms all across campus. More than four tons of paper towels are saved from entering the landfill each year since the switch to hand dryers.

91ÖÆÆ¬³§ upcycles the banners that once hung on campus, turning them into practical items to give away on campus, such as tote bags, luggage tags and lunch boxes. Through this upcycling initiative, 91ÖÆÆ¬³§ has prevented over 2,100 square feet of vinyl banner material from entering the landfill.
