A brief description of the plan of action to achieve waste reduction goals:
SDSU recycling routinely outperforms the standards set by the state. The amount of trash generated at SDSU per person, per day is 3.4 pounds, less than half of the state goal of 8.6 pounds of trash per person.
Overview of recycling efforts and guidelines for students in the residence halls:
Corrugated Cardboard Recycling at move-in – Break It Down. After you use your boxes, please break them down so they are flat and put them in the co-mingled recycling dumpsters located near your residence hall.
Another will be collection of donated goods at move-out – Give It Up. There will be food barrels in the front desk area of each hall for nonperishable food donations. There will also be donation bins outside for donating clothing and other items, as long as it’s in good condition. The Give It Up program is recycling, donating, giving back to the community and helping our environment all in one.
In 2010 the SDSU Recycling Center opened on the Cuicacalli walkway next to the LLC @ Maya & Olmeca (see the campus map). Accepting beverage container recycling, the center is open several hours a week, check with the Recycling Center for the current semester hours. All containers are redeemable for Aztec bucks, which can be used at any Aztec Market Convenience Store on campus.http://www.sa.sdsu.edu/housing/guide-home.html
