• Eco-Reps Manage SSPEAR’s Materials:
Recycling Information Signs: Recycling Information signs have been placed by SSPEAR members above nearly all large community recycling bins in dorm hallways, laundry rooms, and restrooms. These signs are intended to clarify proper recycling habits, so it is important they remain directly above the recycling bins so that the arrow at the bottom points toward the bin. The signs have been laminated so that we can re-use them from year-to-year, and it is important we keep careful track of them as they’re an important resource and valuable SSPEAR property.
Red Cup Bins: Red Cup bins are also property of SSPEAR and ASCMC’s Campus Improvements Committee. These bins are intended ONLY for recycling of Red Cups, to be sent to Terracycle (http://www.terracycle.com/en-US/brigades/solo-r-cup-brigade-r.html).
