RECYCLING TURNS UPSIDE DOWN thanks to the new mini-bin program developed by the SSU implementation team (left or right) Cindy Chong, Mark Bradley (Director of Housekeeping), Jodi Gardner and J.R. Cervantes (Assistant Recycling Coordinator). The mini-bin above will be for garbage only and the recyle can will be the size of the present garbage can found in campus offices.

Mini-Bin Recycle Program Takes
a New Look at Trash

An office mini-bin recycle program has begun at SSU, reports Mark Bradley, Director of Housekeeping. The program was successfully piloted in Salazar Hall and deemed appropriate to launch campus wide. The mini-bin program is a waste management system that changes the way staff handles their garbage and is designed to help divert waste that goes to the landfill. It will also assist in meeting the 50% diversion requirement mandated by the State of California.

The program involves replacing the traditional desk-side waste containers with a mini-bin for garbage while providing a larger recycle can for single-stream recyclable items. The campus-wide launch will become effective in the next several weeks. Implementation will begin in clusters, first in the Student Health Center, Nichols, Carson and Darwin.
