Centralized Waste Recycling Plan

Consistent with Winthrop University's Sustainability Policy, a Centralized Waste and Recycling Plan (pdf - 145 KB) has begun to be implemented. The main goal of the plan is to install centralized waste and recycling stations to divert waste from the landfill. By removing trash cans from classrooms and providing centralized collection stations, individuals will more readily choose to recycle. Personal behaviors will change which will support both campus and state sustainability initiatives. Additional benefits of this plan will be the reduction of overall costs through improved energy efficiency and the improvement of campus safety.
