MDC Launches College-Wide Recycling Program
Miami Dade College has taken an important step in expanding
the scope of our campus-based recycling efforts by
implementing a college-wide waste-reduction program.
In partnership with the Southeastern Recycling Corporation,
the College has negotiated a contract for the recycling of
paper, cardboard, plastic bottles and aluminum cans on all
eight MDC campuses and specified outreach centers. The
placement of the various recycling containers or receptacles
will be determined by each of the campuses.
You will be receiving specific recycling guidelines from
your campus administration in the coming days. In the
meantime, if you wish to recycle, please sort materials
accordingly.
I would like to thank Judy Schmelzer and E.H. Levering for
leading the charge to implement our college-wide recycling
program and the campus administrative deans for their
support. This program would not have been possible without
the guidance of Colleen Ahern-Hettich, director of the Earth
Ethics Institute, who has been a stalwart champion of
recycling at the College.
Our new recycling program provides faculty, staff and
students the opportunity to be part of an ecological
solution to use limited resources more wisely. We can all
make a difference by taking the time to recycle.
Thank you.
Eduardo
