2nd Campaign
Single Stream-Recylcing
A brief description of the campaign, including how students and/or employees were engaged (2nd campaign):
When the City of Oshkosh switched to single-stream recycling last year, interns in the Office of Sustainability launched a campus-wide educational campaign. New bins and lids were redistributed throughout campus to ensure there was a recycling bin next to each garbage can. A poster was created with information on what was and wasn't recyclable and placed above each bin. Emails were sent to all students, staff, and faculty informing them of the change, and social media was utilized to spread the word and a video of the new waste management process.
During the summer of 2016, recycling programs were also included into the Titan Stadium complex to accommodate mixed recyclables for single stream recycling but also pizza boxes for the campus biodigester.
A brief description of the measured positive impact(s) of the campaign (2nd campaign):
Recycling has increased throughout campus now that they do not need to be separated out. Less contaminates have ended up in the recycling bins.
