Recycle Operations

Washtenaw Community College's resource management practices are governed by the principles 载于 浪费的层次结构.

十大彩票网赌平台's 回收 Operation works to minimize the amount of recyclable material sent 对垃圾填埋场. 回收 is truly a campus wide activity which will only achieve optimal success if everyone is making conscious sustainable decisions when disposing of items. 回收 stations are located all over campus in classrooms, offices, public areas, and other locations. Typically each station consists of one bin for paper and card products, another for plastic, glass, and metal bottles and containers, and a bin 对垃圾填埋场.

十大彩票网赌平台 ensures that outgoing recycling material is clean and uncontaminated. “回收 Department employees sort all recyclable materials ensuring a high quality product is shipped offsite. Working with the 十大彩票网赌平台 community the Recycle Department endeavors to ensure everyone understands how their choices can have a positive environmental 影响.

黑色-堆填区

  • All residual waste placed in this bin will go 对垃圾填埋场

Please think carefully before placing items in the landfill bin, items will go directly 对垃圾填埋场 without sorting.

The most common error made is the placement of disposable coffee cups, both paper and 聚苯乙烯泡沫塑料, in the recycle bin. Coffee cups are not recyclable and residual coffee contaminates the whole bin. Please use a refillable/reusable cup whenever possible.

食物堆肥

食物的混合机Food waste produced in kitchens and break rooms on campus can be composted in 十大彩票网赌平台’s Vermicomposting system. If you would like a Food Caddy for waste coffee grounds and filters, egg shells, fruits, and vegetables. Please contact the Recycle Department or place a FAMIS work order. The castings from the composting system are used in WTMC’s 核心的花园.

电池

十大彩票网赌平台 Generated 电池 are Recycled:  If you work in an area that produces many used batteries for recycling please ask about a collection bin. Alkaline, Lead Acid, and rechargeable batteries such as Nicad, NiMH, Lithium Ion, and Lithium button are all accepted.

十大彩票网赌平台 encourages the community to use rechargeable batteries instead of single life 碱性电池. Additionally, please do not bring batteries from home to recycle at 十大彩票网赌平台 this is counterproductive to our shared goals.
