Working closely with Recycling, Waste Management picks up and processes all of the campus recycling.
The Waste Management team currently has several routes to collect both refuse and recycling. Each route is set up based on building volumes. Day by day, the drivers make anywhere from 25 to 75 stops, then haul trash to the Granger landfill and deliver recyclables to the MSU Recycling Material Recover Facility, Freidland Recycling or the current MSU Recycling Center.
Most of the campus residential halls have large roll-off compactors that are used to recycle cardboard plastic and tin cans from the Housing & Food Services Division.
Waste Management is a big supporter of Be Spartan Green, MSU's environmental stewardship initiative, which not only encourages people to recycle, but also to reduce their waste, reuse, rethink, reeducate and research, and redesign.
The current processing center has a public drop-off area, but mainly collects materials from campus. Once the new Surplus Store and Recycling Center is completed in summer 2009, Waste Management will work to include more materials into its recycling regime in order to expand recycling efforts.
