Make Recycling Better

Solutions to increase recycling

• Review TCNJ Recycling Guidelines
• Utiize TCNJ Recycling locations
• Participate in the Dump and Run program
• Share ideas for improving recycling efforts on campus with radosti@tcnj.edu 

Problems preventing more recycling

• Contamination – trash mixed with recyclables; now treated as trash
• While contamination decreased with specific lid types (paper, bottles), did not prevent 100% of contamination
• Perception / attitude that TCNJ does NOT recycle
• Do not know how / where to recycle
• Do not have the appropriate containers

New projects for increasing recycling

In Fiscal Year 2008, four exterior bottle and cans recycling containers were installed next to existing trash containers outside.
