The Office of Planning, Sustainability, and Project (PSPM) provides recycling and waste management training to the University's Building Service Workers. Workers are given a formal training that includes UIC's binding commitments, recycling and waste management processes and data, as well as information on special considerations (how to place bins, signage, recycling events, etc.).
