Recycle Dead Batteries!
Recycle Dead Batteries!
The Susty team rolled out new battery collection bins in the bookstores on each campus! Batteries are hazardous waste and should never be put in the landfill, recycling, or compost and now it's easier than ever for staff and students to dispose of them correctly.
Energy Management
Energy Management
SMCCCD is excited to continue our work with CLEAResult on strategic energy management. Based on their guidance we can increase energy efficiency to save money and the planet! Their engineers came out to visit CSM and Skyline this quarter.
Promoting a Clean Commute!
Promoting a Clean Commute!
Alternative commutes reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Using public transit and/or the free campus shuttles are a great way to get to class!
The free CSM Shuttle runs with hourly pick-ups and drop-offs between the Millbrae BART/Caltrain Station and CSM Monday through Friday from 7:10 am – 2:15 pm.
The Skyline College Shuttle runs every hour from 7:25AM to 6:44PM, Monday - Friday between the Daly City BART station and campus.
Watch the Susty team's commute to CSM on the shuttle!
