Campus Race To Zero Waste at SLU
Each year, 天美传媒制片厂 participates in Campus Race To Zero Waste (formerly known as Recyclemania), a national intercollegiate competition to promote waste-recycling and -reduction programs and encourage the campus community to get involved in these efforts.
In 2024, this event will take place at 7 a.m.-1 p.m., March 26, 2024, Il Monastero, 3050 Olive St., St. Louis, MO 63103.
Anyone who attends, works at or visits SLU.
Recycle every chance you get! Be sure that your recyclable waste goes in the recycling bins, cans, and dumpsters around campus, and your e-waste gets collected year-round or at our annual E-waste Drive.
Single-stream receptacles collect your typical paper, plastic, metal and glass recyclables. This type of recycling will be measured for the Grand Champion and Per Capita competitions.
E-waste collects electronics and appliances (anything with a cord). This type of recycling will be measured for the E-cyclemania competition.
Most electronics will be free to bring to the e-waste event however, there are a few items that will need to have fees paid in cash upon visit to recycle.
At SLU, blue = recycling. Look for blue bins inside buildings, blue cans along sidewalks and blue dumpsters behind buildings for your single-stream items.
