Residence Halls Recycling Program

The need for recycling in the residence halls of MSUM motivated students to include the development of a program in the Sustainable Campus Initiative.  In the fall of 2004 a program was developed and implemented.  The program included collection bins in every MSUM Housing building and a staff of Recycling Assistants hired with Green Fee funds to operate the program. 

Startup of the program was a success.  It took a few for residents to adapt to having recycling available, but participation in the program has been steadily increasing!  Currently, a large portion of residents are excited about the program and have expressed their support.
