Although SUV has b en involved in recycling on and off for a couple of years, the program has died out once or twice but been brought back soon after. Jeff Hadlock, a former SUUSA senator, was the first to rejuvenate the program under Sandy LordBelknap's previous term as SUVSA president. Hadlock bought 16 white barrels and set them up across campus. Unfortunately, those barrels were stolen and the program faded due to a lack of time and money. Once again the program is being brought back. The senate has set aside $200 to purchase 12 new white barrels, chains and locks to keep the barrels safe from theft. The program will concentrate on recycling paper, aluminum and glass. Instead of transporting the paper to another city for recycling, it will be taken to a new recycling center in Cedar City. The Ecology C lub is helping out by preparing the paper for recycling. The aluminum, however, still requires a 100 mile round trip each month to St. George. Michael Donavan, biology professor, set up the free monthly pick up and an SUV sorority will store the aluminum awaiting pick up. Finally, .t he glass will also require transportion to St. George by SUUSA members. SUUSA is reviving the program because they received numerous comments about the missing program. "SUUSA has been working almost a year on the program and a lot of time and money has been put in but it's coming together and I'm quite proud of it," said SUUSA Academic Vice President Maren Maclean . Maclean gave a lot of the credit for the program's growing success to Xavier Feldman and Rob Farrant. Feldman organized the Ecology Clubs' volunteers to pick up the barrels weekly and Farrant collected donations in the community for the program. To publicize the program volunteers collected old sheets from hotels and used paper fro m the computer lab to make signs. "It's kind of cheesy but poignant," said Maclean. The barrels will be put out April 20, in conjunction with Cedar City beautification day. |
