A larger student body means more recyclable waste at Texas State. BUT – the university is trying to make sure waste is disposed of properly on campus. Mason Robinson has more in this Bobcat Update.

You see it all the time: recyclable materials that could be disposed of properly, but instead they wind up just being litter on the Texas State campus. The university has hundreds of recycle bins available to students and faculty, and it hosts events
during the year to promote recycling awareness. Recent efforts even go as far as putting bins in classrooms and dorms, with the notion that having them close by will encourage people to recycle more. But would you hold on to that plastic bottle or stack of papers until you find a recycling unit? The answer for some students comes down to a matter of convenience.

The school recycles more than 100 tons of waste each year. Being able to properly dispose of what can be recycled is an asset that students should find valuable.
