At UC, Move-In Means Recycling by the Ton
University of Cincinnati students and their families who are moving into the residence halls will also help the environment. Thats thanks to efforts of UC volunteers who will focus on recycling all the boxes brought onto campus during the coming move-in days.
Last year, UCs Office of Sustainability and the Presidents Advisory Council on Environment & Sustainability (PACES) led the effort that collected more than eight tons of cardboard thanks to efforts by UC sustainability advocates and other volunteers. That was up from the previous fall of 2009 when three tons of materials were recycled.
According to Claire Sweigart, UC sustainability coordinator, university volunteers will be breaking down and recycling the move-in boxes at the following halls:
9 a.m. - 9 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 15, 2011, in
