Recycle Ann Arbor

Green Greeks and Recycle Ann Arbor have teamed up to tackle Greek recycling practices.  We are working directly towards one of our initiatives for this year, to get EVERY Greek house on campus to recycle or improve their current recycling operation.  We will be going house to house and do the following:
  • Make an initial trash assessment to determine the needs of the particular fraternity or sorority.
  • Survey the house to find central locations to place indoor recycling bins.
  • Order large recycling totes (for paper and for containers) that will go to the curb each week.
  • Make a brief presentation to the members about what is recyclable, what isn't, tips, tricks, etc.
If your fraternity or sorority is interested in starting a recycling program or just want some ways to improve what you already have, please contact Emily Hlavaty of Recycle Ann Arbor at emilyh@recycleannarbor.org to schedule a site evaluation and presentation.


Environmental Action (EnAct)

Green Greeks and Environmental Action recently teamed up to do volunteer work in the city and county parks around Ann Arbor.  We have accompanied EnAct members to different parks to remove invasive plant species, clear paths, spread mulch, etc. to help re-create a natural area.
