17 Public Recycling Drop-off Center Faculty, staff and students, both on-and-off-campus, use the public drop-off. The center is also open for community use.
18 Recycling Data In 2017 collected about 9.5 million lbs. Generated $300,000 in revenue Nearly 3 million from public drop off Cardboard 2.8 million lbs Glass 810,000 lbs Metal 1.8 million lbs Paper 2.7 million lbs Plastic 858,000 lbs Other 500,000 lbs
19 Highest & Best Use Philosophy Def: Use of a product or process that produces the highest value (not necessarily $$ value). Evaluate materials and processes and ask: How can we minimize waste? Reduce size of trash containers and increase recycling opportunities Can it be reused or repurposed? Items of value sold, profits returned to Departments or used to support our operations Can it be donated or shared? Items that aren t sold, but have value are given away or donated. Saves about $100,000 in disposal fees annually. Can it be recycled or composted? Find new life in another form by composting or recycling If no, then disposal. Waste-to-energy Traditional landfilling the last resort
20 The Recycling Process All materials are collected, weighed, processed, baled, & shipped for sale
21 The Recycling Process Materials collected from MSU facilities Source separated: Most materials from Recycling Center Except plastics #1-#7 Co-mingled: Mixed paper/boxboard bins Plastic/Metal bins Single-stream: Event recycling
22
23 Recycling Process Tipped on the floor Lifted onto conveyor to sort line
24 Recycling Process Materials are sorted by hand student employees
25 Recycling process Sorted into bunkers and pushed onto Bailer conveyor
26 Recycling Process Material is baled, weighed again and readied for shipment to vendors.

28 The Importance of Recycling Why do we do it? In 1988, students petitioned MSU Board to implement a paper recycling program 2008, MSU establishes goal to reduce landfill waste by 30% by 2015 SSRC short-term goal of 70% waste diversion SSRC long-term goal of Zero waste or 90%+
29 The Importance of Recycling Why do we do it? If we raised the state average of 15% recycling rate to 30% we would: Increase jobs Create about 10,000 jobs Create around $225 million in income Increase sales and income in manufacturing sector By around $3 billion Expand Michigan s tax base By around $17 billion Reduce greenhouse gas emissions Provide broad environmental benefits Public Sector Consultants 2009 report: Expanding Recycling in Michigan
