Ohio University’s students in residence halls and apartments
are expected to take their recyclables out to the recycling storage
and collection sites by the trash dumpsters located at their buildings.
Service staff will take recyclables from public areas of the residence
halls to the outside recycling areas. Dining hall service staff
will recycle from their operations. Recyclables are picked up by
Athens-Hocking Recycling Center, OU’s recycling and trash
collection vender. Athens-Hocking recycling workers will weigh their
trucks at OU’s truck scales located at the heating plant prior
to collecting recyclables at residence halls, dining halls and on-campus
apartments. After finishing their collection route they will weigh
their trucks again and calculate the tare weight. The weights will
be given to Ed Newman, OU’s Recycling Manager. According to
OU’s department of housing there are approximately 7,168 students
living on-campus as of January 1, 2004. This number will be used
to calculate pounds recycled per student.
