Stewards of the Earth

Newman Hall does have a recycling program in place. There are recycling bins on each floor for resident use. First through fourth floors can find bins in the walkway between the main stairs and the South wings. Fifth and up will see their bins near the stairs. Housekeeping will empty your trashcans but recycling is your responsibility.

Recycling is not new to Newman Hall as the dorm has always been committed to minimizing waste. In recent years student volunteers would empty the bins and haul the recyclables to an area recycling center. Before the student volunteers the waste company would take our recycling, however, it was discovered that the company was actually dumping the blue bins into the same garbage truck as the dumpsters.
