Recycling Updates

posted ‎‎Jul 18, 2008 9:30 AM‎‎ by Buddy Tignor

The Haywood Community College Volunteer Club has enhanced the college’s recycling program with the purchase of 14 additional trash cans and 80 cardboard boxes. The trash cans will accept cans and bottles while the boxes will be a depository for paper. The boxes were painted by Canton Middle School students as part of an art project. The cans were painted by HCC students, clubs, faculty, and staff. According to Blair Bishop, HCC Natural Resources instructor, “These cans and boxes will reduce waste, save money, and help the environment all at the same time.”

Recently the Facilities and Maintenance Division also purchased new recycling bins for the 300 and 1500 buildings. If you have any questions about what can be recycled please call Gene Stano, Campus Team Arboretum Leader, X-4135
