The University of Toledo Recycling Department has purchased a new vehicle and ordered more bins to expand the recycling efforts on Health Science Campus.
The improved recycling program on Health Science Campus is slated to begin Oct. 1 and will include bins for glass, aluminum and paper, just like on Main Campus.
A $41,982 grant from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources made purchasing the new bins possible, along with a new recycling vehicle.
“The old truck had a lot of problems; the new one is a big improvement and nice to use,” said Jeremy Sterling, recycling and moving supervisor, who added the new vehicle is “road-worthy and reliable.”
Diana Ganues, director of environmental services, said the vehicle will be used for recycling pickup for both campuses, as well as helping to move items between offices.
As for the new containers, they soon will be placed on Health Science Campus and will be preceded by an advertising push to promote awareness about recycling and the location of the new receptacles, Ganues said.
The department also has made a commitment to promote recycling during football games; Ganues said placing and labeling recycling bins around the Glass Bowl will be a priority.
