Recycling is a small contribution with a HUGE impact on our environment. One way everyone can help, and have fun recycling, is to become an MU team player in Recyclemania, a ten-week competition for colleges and universities to reduce waste. We, along with over 600 other schools, are reporting our recycling weights every week from January 17 until March 27.
Put us on top by simply disposing of recyclable materials properly on campus. Here are a few suggestions:
- Break down cardboard and set aside for convenient removal by custodians (we have box cutter key chains we can give you).
- Recycle all acceptable beverage containers, inside and outside of buildings.
- Recycle office paper, magazines, food boxboards, newspapers, phone books, and catalogs.
- Consider starting an indoor beverage program in your building if you have not already.
- Have individual desk-side recycling containers delivered to your building for convenience in recycling.
Let us know if we can help in any way by emailing mucfsustainability@missouri.edu or morelandja@missouri.edu
Look for updates on MU Info and on our website.
There is a prize for the winning school!
