Recycling Reports

ANNUAL REPORTS
The Columbia Recycling Program is proud to share with the campus its annual recycling reports beginning with the 2009-2010 academic year.  This report covers all facets of the Recycling Program, notably its diversion numbers and ideas for future initiatives. We aimed to provide a well-rounded look into recycling at Columbia.

MONTHLY RECYCLING REPORTS
Here are reports detailing what was recycled on campus (including the weights and materials) as well as highlighting any events or news from the Recycling Program. These will be uploaded each month, but will be behind due to gathering recycling reports from our waste haulers.

Since 2009, each Semester we have held our Eco Installation Call for Work. This project has grown, moving from a design contest into a sustainable gallery on campus. Read more about the origin and growth of our Eco Installation project here.

During Student Move Out Recycling sponsors a donation drive from each residence center, collecting household items, clothing, books, and food. Here is a report from our 4th year's drive this past May 2011. View the event report here.

 

RECYCLING SURVEYS
In January 2011, we sent out an online survey to a select group of faculty and staff. The survey dealt with topics aimed to give us feedback on how the campus percieves the Recycling Program. We aim to use the results from this survey to improve our program.

Here are the results of this survey: View or Download

This effort was a consolidated effort from the entire recycling program staff. Thanks to Caro Griffin  (Interdisciplinary Arts '12) our student worker,  Assistant to Outreach Coordinator, for all her work on layout and design of these reports.
