Recycling Club Welcome to the official webpage of the Health Sciences Center Recycling group! This group is dedicated to the recycling needs of the HSC, and involves two primary programs: the recycling pickup program and HSC recycling bin management. HEALTH SCIENCES CENTER RECYCLING PICKUP PROGRAM Volunteers will be collecting your recyclable trash at school for community service hours. It's simple to participate: Volunteers will be collecting recyclable trash at school for community service hours. It's simple to participate: 1. Bin Management Volunteers carry recyclables from the three HSC recycling Bin sets: 1 st Floor Atrium, Small Cafeteria (HSC-North), and Large Cafeteria (HSC-South). 2. Recycling Pickup Collect aluminum and steel cans, plastic bottles (and any other type-1 or type-2 plastics), newspapers, printer paper, magazines, cardboard, and glass bottles (any color). Please sort your stuff!
DESCRIPTION OF GOALS, PURPOSE, ACTIVITIES: -Offer 0.25 service hours for bringing in a bag of unsorted recyclable goods at a designated time each week. Use volunteers to sort these materials and drive them to MCCRC for hour-for-hour service. -Use HSC Recycling Club funding to place one recycling bin in each classroom. Students would be able to recycle conveniently without even having to sort. Use volunteers to sort the contents of the classroom bins and add them to the larger recycling bins daily at a rate of 0.5 hours per day of service or hour-for-hour if a volunteer empties several classrooms (a different volunteer would assume this responsibility each day of the week). These bins could be placed in all HSC classrooms, not just medical school ones. -Place small boxes at each recycling bin to collect pop can tabs for Ronald McDonald House. These can be emptied as needed by volunteers collecting other recycled material. -Encourage students to collect recyclable material from friends and neighbors. Any student collecting and sorting recycling from a minimum of three friends and/or neighbors and transporting it to the MCCRC would be eligible to receive hour-for-hour community service credit. Alternatively, they could bring bags of unsorted materials to school with them to apply to the 0.25 hour per bag opportunity above. This would allow the program to be visible to the community in addition to being helpful to its environment. -Undertake all of these projects in an environmentally sound manner, using only electronic communication and classroom announcements to inform students of these opportunities as opposed to wasteful fliers.
