Every state, county, and city has specific waste separation rules. We try to make it easy for everyone on campus to sort their waste correctly!
We replaced and recycled 150 mattresses this summer as part of our annual replacement program. Sleepwell Recycling, founded by a Champlain alum, carefully deconstructs the mattresses and recycles ALL of the parts. We even recycled 35 pounds of plastic mattress bags!
We strive to reduce waste in a variety of ways. Take the time to learn what goes where, and then sort it out.
You can now recycle film-plastic at key locations around campus. Think plastic bags, bread bags, little bags that things come wrapped in, Amazon bubble mailers etc. Look for the white recycling bins beside the Mail Center, Fireside Lounge and Lakeside stair tower!
Our collective efforts are making a difference!
