Recycling Process . . .

  By keeping recyclables out of the trash, we reduce the cost of waste removal, decrease the rate at which our community landfills are filling up, and clean up air, earth, and water by reducing the added pollution that results from refinement of virgin materials. Recycling makes a difference!
The key to success in the W·E·C·A·R·E recycling program is our community. Students, faculty, staff, and guests decide whether or not to recycle. Recycling benefits everyone in our community with a cleaner environment, a more attractive campus, an economic advantage for the university, and a brighter future for all.
  The community uses recycling containers to dispose of emptied aluminum cans, office paper, newspaper and magazines.  These recycling containers are conveniently located in recycling centers throughout the various buildings on campus.  There are 6 cardboard recycling dumpsters on camps.  They are located behind Dinkins Student Union, behind McBryde Hall, and behind Thomson Cafeteria.
  Office occupants using the blue, 14 quart recycling containers empty them into the appropriate recycling containers located in the recycling centers.
  Recycling collection would not be successful without the team effort by the custodial staff, grounds crew, and set up.  Custodial collects the recyclables from the building recycling centers and stages the recycling in a common area outside the building.  Residence halls are collected on Fridays; academic buildings are collected on Monday.  From here, the grounds crew collects the material and stages at Facilities Management.  A team from the Set-up Department  takes the recyclables to a recycling facility for processing. 
  Special pick ups are made of shredded paper and large quantities of recyclables. These pick ups may arranged through the Facilities Management Work Request web page.
  Every week, the City of Rock Hill empty the cardboard dumpsters on a weekly basis.  Therefore it is imperative not to park in front of the cardboard dumpsters or any trash receptacle.
