Where to Recycle: There is a recycling box or bin in every classroom, studio, building, performance area and public
space. If you do not see one please ask the instructor or adult in charge where the nearest site is located. There are
recycling dumpsters on campus for paper, cardboard and co-mingles. Co-mingles are any recyclable aluminum,
plastic (#1 & #2), glass and metal containers. Used batteries may be recycled at any Residence Hall front desk.
Residence Hall Recycling Program/Procedures: Each residence hall lobby has a recycling bin for paper/
cardboard and a bin for commingles. For Hemingway, Picasso, Mozart/ Beethoven, McWhorter and DeRoy, the trash
and recycling dumpsters are located at the south end of Hemingway between the Residence Hall and the Uniform
Shop. For Thor Johnson the trash and recycling bins are located in the breezeway. It is imperative that students put
only paper and cardboard in the paper/cardboard bin and only co-mingles in the co-mingle bin. Improper sorting
results in contamination of the entire bin, and all contents are considered trash. Do not place bags of trash or
recyclables on top of the dumpster lids.
Student Residence Halls Energy Conservation Program/Procedures:
• Things students can do to help conserve electricity:
• Turn off lights every time you leave an otherwise unoccupied room.
• Turn off computers, radios, CDs players, TVs, curling irons, and all appliances when not in use.
• Do not use screen-savers.
• Use natural light whenever possible instead of turning on lights.
• Turn off ceiling lights when just a reading lamp is sufficient.
• Avoid the use of night-lights, and turn them off during the day.
• Do not use automated door buttons unless you are disabled.
• Unplug refrigerators if empty. Share a refrigerator.
Things students can do to help conserve heat:
• Keep furniture and belongings away from room heaters.
• Keep windows closed in the winter. If a room is too hot, notify a residence hall counselor or manager.
• If you must open a window, close it when you leave the room.
Things students can do to help conserve water:
• Do not let faucets, toilets, or showers drip. If you see one dripping, turn it off. One drip/second=2,700 gallons/year!
• Turn water off while brushing teeth, shaving, or shampooing.
• Take shorter showers.
• Only wash full loads of clothes, and reduce water level appropriately. Wash clothes only in cold water.
