A brief description of the campaign (2nd campaign):
UW-L converted to single-stream in January 2015 and is expected to create a simpler recycling process that will increase the amount of material being recycled, reduce the amount of trash that ends up in the waste stream and reduce the cost of handling trash.
Single-stream recycling allows users to conveniently place all of their recyclable items such as newspaper, cardboard, mixed paper, magazines, glass, aluminum and plastics 1-7, in one recycling bin. The recyclables are sorted later at a local private recycling center.
