TKE Sustainability Chair Sets Up Solid Waste Recycling Program for Nu Chapter

Berkeley, CA – March 24, 2010 – Nu Chapter’s Sustainability Chairman, Jordon Hemingway, of Mu Class, has started a solid waste recycling program for Nu Chapter, with the goal to reduce the solid waste produced by at least 50%.

The first phase of this program has recently been implemented, which includes in room recycling bins for every brother, hallways bins for aluminum, plastic, and glass, as well as hallway bins for paper and cardboard.

“By incorporating brother involvement and participation with these new recycling bins, we have already dramatically reduced our waste,” says Hemingway. “The next steps in accomplishing our goal are to obtain a compost bin for food scraps in the kitchen and to ensure complete brother involvement in the program.”

Every week the bins are emptied, and any money made from recycling goes right back into the sustainability program.
