Reductions in Solid Waste

Stockton University

1.0 MISSION STATEMENT


Our mission is to inform and educate the students, staff, and faculty at Stockton
University of proper waste disposal habits and different ways in which recycling regularly
benefits both the economy and the environment. Through the design and implementation of our
Stockton 2020 recycling program, we aim to provide a simple and consistent method of
recycling across the entire campus, with long-term goals to significantly reduce the amount of
waste being produced on campus. The objectives of the Stockton 2020 Recycling Program are to
(1) provide uniform and clearly labeled waste bins throughout the entire campus as well as create
recycling hubs on campus that offer disposal containers for batteries, ink jet cartridges, and
electronics, (2) increase awareness of Stocktons current single-stream recycling program, (3)
educate students, staff, and faculty on what material can and cannot be recycled, through use of
informative posters and recycling awareness events on hosted on campus, and (4) add a
monitoring component through which progress can be tracked on a frequent basis.

2.0 ABSTRACT
The Stockton 2020 Recycling Program aims to educate members of the Stockton
University community about proper waste disposal methods and how such methods can benefit
the environment. As Stockton University continues to grow the amount of on-campus solid waste
being generated also continues to grow. In order to minimize future waste at Stockton, there is a
need for more sustainable recycling practices. A recent survey conducted on campus has shown
that the inconsistency and lack of clarity of labeled waste disposal bins is one of the main
contributors to excess waste production. The survey also showed that many students are unaware
of the Atlantic County Utilities Authoritys (ACUA) single-stream recycling program being
implemented at Stockton, and therefore fail to properly recycle, again, leading to increased solid
waste. American University, located in Washington D.C., is currently implementing a recycling
program that provides clear and easy-to-use waste disposal bins that make it easier to recycle
properly on campus. The Stockton 2020 Recycling Program takes influence from American
Universitys program, along with other sustainable waste management programs in the United
States, and aims to implement similar methods at Stockton University, in hope that it will
improve recycling conditions on campus, ultimately reducing waste.
Through the introduction of color-coded waste bins, clearly differentiating between trash
and single-stream recycling, and creation of several recycling hubs on campus (including
resources to recycle batteries, e-waste, and ink-jet cartridges) Stockton will be able to provide
ideal resources necessary for students, staff, and faculty to practice proper recycling habits.
Despite the fact that the ACUA does not collect items such as batteries, e-waste, and ink jet
cartridges, it is the 2020 recycling program makes possible for Stockton University to offer these
recycling resources at a fairly low cost. Through the use of the ACUAs household hazardous
waste days, offered once or twice a month in Egg Harbor Township, Stockton would be able to
drop off recycled batteries at no cost. Similarly, Greenway Computers, located in Somers Point
Reductions in Solid Waste

Stockton University

accepts any recyclable electronics, and businesses such as Staples, Target, and Best Buy, which
are all less than 10 miles from the Stockton Campus, accept recyclable ink jet cartridges (also for
no cost). With just minimal extra effort Stockton can offer these resources to members of the
Stockton community, which will help to reduce waste and benefit the environment. The
education component of the 2020 Recycling Program is the most important component of the
entire program. People most often fail to recycle properly because they are unaware of how to
recycle or feel that the inconvenience of recycling outweighs the benefits. To increase awareness
and education on campus, educational signs and associated environmental modifications, such as
introducing easy to understand recycling bins, will be implemented to encourage proper
recycling habits. Additionally, a monitoring component will be essential in keeping track of the
short-term and long-term progress related to the new recycling methods being implemented.
Stockton students interested in doing a paid internship related to recycling would be able to
accomplish monitoring of this program. As a result of the Stockton 2020 Recycling Program,
the entire school will naturally be engaged and aware of their surroundings just by being at
school. Individuals on campus will benefit from the knowledge acquired through informative
posters and actually feel good knowing that they are contributing to an important environmental
cause, ultimately increasing morale and overall well-being on campus, reducing waste and
restoring Stocktons reputation as a green university.
3.0 STATEMENT OF NEED
In todays society, growth is an important factor that is directly related to the amount of
solid waste being generated. As growth increases, whether in population or industrialization,
naturally, the amount of solid waste generated will also increase (EPA, 2002). Stockton
University is a prime example of this, considering the fact that the school has been continually
growing in students, faculty, staff, and development (buildings) for over forty-five years. When
Stockton University, formerly The Richard Stockton College of New Jersey, was founded in
1969 there were only 1,000 students and 60 full-time faculty members, compared to the Fall of
2014, when Stockton reached a student body of 8,570 with 304 full-time faculty members. On
February 18th, 2015, Stockton achieved university status, which will ultimately impact the
number of incoming students in years to come (Stockton University, 2015). To accommodate
this anticipated growth, Stockton University plans to open a new campus in Atlantic City in the
Fall of 2015 which is expected to increase the student body by 4,000 people (Stockton
University, 2014). With these new plans for growth and development on the horizon, the
University is expected to see a significant increase in the amount of solid waste generated on
campus. In order to minimize Stocktons solid waste impact, it is important that students, staff,
and faculty practice proper waste management methods.
The improper disposal of solid waste can be very harmful to the environment and to
human health. Landfills, where solid waste accumulates after being discarded, have become
places of uncontrolled dumping, which, in turn, pose potential risk to the surrounding
Reductions in Solid Waste

Stockton University

communities and ecosystem. Recycling, which is the act of collecting, reprocessing, and/or
recovering certain waste materials to make new materials or products (EPA, 2002), is an action
that can greatly reduce the amount of solid waste entering landfills and prevent future risks
associated with damage to the ecosystem. Proper recycling practices in a large community such
as Stockton University could be extremely effective in reducing the local waste management
issues in Atlantic County, New Jersey. However, Stocktons current recycling program is
inconsistent across the campus and difficult to understand.
Based on a recent survey conducted on Stocktons campus, many students do not fully
understand which waste items should be recycled and which should be thrown in the trash. 28
out of 53 individuals surveyed said that they feel that recycling is very important, yet 28 out of
the 53 individuals also said that they sometimes second guess themselves when looking at the
recycling containers, an arent always sure whether they are properly recycling. Overall, a lack
of awareness from students, staff, and faculty about Stockton Universitys basic waste
management practices is preventing efficient recycling to take place.
Stocktons solid waste is managed by the Atlantic County Utilities Authority (ACUA),
Since 2009, the ACUA has been practicing a method of recycling called single-stream recycling,
where all recyclable items are placed together in the same container without sorting or
separating. In general, this practice allows for more items to be recycled, helping to reduce
overall waste (ACUA, 2015). According to our survey, 36 out of 53 individuals are unfamiliar
with this concept at Stockton University. Despite the fact that all recycling bins located on
campus are single stream containers, maybe the reason so many people are unfamiliar with this
concept is because, many of these containers fail to advertise this fact, and often mislead
individuals on what items should be placed in them. Figure 1, seen below, depicts a typical waste
disposal unit located in the hallways of Stocktons Main Campus.

Fig 1. The above photo show typical hallway waste bins at Stockton University. The Recycling bin, although single
stream, has a lid with small circular holes, giving the impression that it is intended for bottles and cans only.

Reductions in Solid Waste

Stockton University

As you can see, the lid with two small circular openings on the recycling bin implies that only
bottles and cans should be placed into it, when really, it is a container for mixed recyclables.
Figure 2, seen below, is another example of a waste disposal unit, located in many outdoor
locations across campus.

Fig 2. The above photo shows a trash and recycling unit, located outdoors in select locations on Stockton
Universitys campus. This waste bin attempts to inform individuals of proper recycling techniques, but the
informative poster is difficult to read and is not located at eye level.

This waste disposal unit clearly marks that only bottles and cans should be recycled and
completely fails to give an option for recycling paper products. Additionally, there is information
regarding recycling tips located on the bottom of the container, but the information is difficult to
read because the font is small and the poster is not located at eye level. Finally, Figure 3, seen
below, is a photo of the trash bin located at the Campus Center Dunkin Donuts.

Reductions in Solid Waste

Stockton University

Fig 3. This trash bin is located at the Campus Center Dunkin Donuts. Students, Staff, and faculty frequently use this
facility on a daily basis, and recyclable product are sold to customers, the most convenient waste disposal bin is not
accompanied by a recycling bin.

Students, staff, and faculty frequently purchase items from Dunkin Donuts everyday. Despite the
fact that Dunkin Donuts sells items, such as plastic and paper cups, that can be recycled, they fail
to even have a recycling bin located in their designated area. This makes it inconvenient for
individuals to recycle their waste and, typically, items that should and could be recycled, end up
in the trash. The fact that there are multiple waste disposal units, located on campus, that give
contradictory recycling instructions (or fail to even have a recycling option) are time-consuming
and typically discourage individuals to recycle properly. Inconsistencies similar to the previous
examples are seen everywhere on campus and because of this; students, staff, and faculty are
incapable of recycling properly. Additional photos can be found in Appendix I.
In order for recycling to be more effective at Stockton University, a new recycling
program is necessary that focuses on education and awareness of single-stream recycling. The
waste disposal units on campus must be consistent, making sure to clearly label all recycling bins
with clear and easy to understand recycling instructions, allowing students, staff, and faculty to
effortless recycle properly anywhere on campus. Additionally, large posters providing more
detailed information about proper recycling habits should be posted above select waste disposal
units to increase awareness and promote more efficient recycling. The Stockton 2020 recycling
program will ensure that all of these necessities are satisfied, ultimately reducing solid waste and
creating a more sustainable campus.
4.0 PROJECT RATIONALE INCORPORATING LITERATURE
Colleges and Universities all over the United States are making similar campus wide
improvements on their recycling systems. They are all trying to achieve the goal of reducing
solid waste on campus, and even striving to become completely waste-free. Some of these
Reductions in Solid Waste

Stockton University

institutions are Pepperdine University in California, American University in Washington, D.C,


Valencia College in Florida, and Kalamazoo College in Michigan (11 College Recycling, 2012).
Through practices, such as single stream recycling, and composting, these institutions have been
successful in significantly reducing on campus waste. The waste management plan at American
University (AU) in Washington, D.C. is an excellent example of how having uniform and easy to
use waste bins, distributed consistently through out their campus, helps to encourage proper
recycling habits. On March 7, 2015, we had the opportunity to visit American University,
allowing us to experience firsthand an institution with sustainable waste management practices.
Figure 4, seen below, is a photo taken on site at AU that depicts a typical waste disposal unit
located in every building on campus.

Fig 4. The photo above is a typical waste disposal station seen throughout campus at American University, located
in Washington D. C.

Although AU does not practice single-stream recycling, each waste bin is clearly labeled,
providing helpful recycling tips and pictures that allow students, staff, and faculty to dispose of
any kind of waste with out any confusion. This system even offers a color-coded system, which
is consistent across campus, for each type category of waste, making it even simpler to dispose
of waste. Another resource available to students, staff, and faculty at American University is
recycling stations, seen below in figures 5 and 6, located in select places around campus.

Reductions in Solid Waste

Stockton University

Fig 5. The above photo shows a waste disposal and recycling hub, found in various locations around American
Universitys campus. Not only are there clear and informative posters to aid in proper recycling, but these hubs also
offer battery recycling.

Fig 6. The above photo shows cell phone and ink jet cartridges recycling bins, located in the waste disposal and
recycling hubs, seen in figure 8.

Having main recycling stations located in popular areas on campus allows individuals to dispose
of not just everyday trash, but also items such as batteries, cellphones, plastic bags, and ink jet
cartridges. When individuals are aware of a place that offers recycling for these types of items, it
is easy to stop by one of the recycling stations located on campus to properly recycle them.
Typically, when resources for recycling these items are not offered, they end up being thrown
away in the trash, which can have extremely harmful effects on the environment (Rioux, 2010).
Additional photos of American University waste management can be found in Appendix II.

In 2012, American University finished 1st in the Grand Champion division of the
national recycling competition, RecycleMania (American University, 2015), which shows how
effective a well-planned recycling program can be. Offering recycling resources similar to the
ones seen at American University is something we would like to achieve throughout the Stockton
2020 recycling program University. Making efforts to create consistent and easy to use waste
disposal resources is a great first step for Stockton University.
5.0 DETAILED PROJECT DESCRIPTION
5.1 GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
The Stockton 2020 Recycling Program aims to inform and educate the students, staff, and
faculty at Stockton University of proper waste disposal in an attempt to encourage individuals to
begin practicing recycling habits that will ultimately help to reduce the amount of waste being
generated on campus. It is our goal to put Stockton University on a path where a zero-waste
campus is in its near future. The objectives of this program are to (1) provide uniform and
clearly labeled waste bins throughout the entire campus as well as create recycling hubs on
campus that offer disposal containers for batteries, ink jet cartridges, and electronics, (2) increase
awareness of Stocktons current single-stream recycling program, (3) educate students, staff, and
faculty on what material can and cannot be recycled, through use of informative posters and
recycling awareness events on hosted on campus, and (4) a monitoring component through
which progress can be tracked on a frequent basis.
5.2 UNIFORM WASTE BINS
The first step to reducing waste on campus is to offer the resources necessary to practice
proper waste disposal. In this case, the necessary resources are uniform and clearly labeled waste
bins. Currently, Stockton University has wide variety of different trashcans and recycling bins
scattered throughout the campus, but it would be wasteful and impractical to replace every single
one all at once. Instead of replacing all of the waste bins, a color-coded system will be
introduced to give a uniform look to all bins across campus. To avoid confusion, any lids that
suggest separated recycling methods will be removed, and all color-coded bins would be clearly
labeled, stating the fact that they are either single-stream recycling bins or trash, intended to go
to a landfill. Finally, it is important that single-stream recycling bins accompany all trash bins on
campus. It is crucial to always have the two paired together to discourage individuals from
throwing away recyclables in the trash. Implementing these simple steps will is a great start to
effectively reduce solid waste on campus.
5.3 ADDITIONAL RECYCLING
The next step in the Stockton 2020 Recycling Program would be to create several
recycling hubs on campus where students, staff, and faculty could bring recyclables that
otherwise would just get thrown in the trash. Many individuals are unaware of the harmful
Reductions in Solid Waste

environment impacts that result from throwing away items such as, electronics, different types of
batteries, and ink jet cartridges. And even those who are aware of the environmental impacts still
may continue to throw away said materials because they feel that the inconvenience of recycling
outweighs the benefits (Holeman, 2013). In order to make recycling these item more convenient
and simple, the proposed recycling hubs would include recycling container that are specifically
for E-waste, batteries, and Ink Jet cartridges. The following sections outline how it possible for
Stockton to accommodate these recyclables.

Batteries
Many batteries contain harmful materials that must be disposed of correctly to
avoid ending up in landfills, where they have the potential to cause serious environmental
risk. Silver Oxide Batteries, for example, which are found in watches, calculators, and
hearing aids, should absolutely not be put into the trash because they contain mercury,
which is a toxic substance and can bioaccumulate in the environment (Hill, 2012). The
ACUA does not accept batteries as a part of its single-stream recycling, so all batteries
collected at Stockton University would have to be contained separately and disposed of at
one of ACUAs household hazardous waste day, which occur once of twice a month. At
these household hazardous waste days, all household hazardous material can be dropped
off to ACUA Haneman "Fritz" Environmental Park, in Egg Harbor Township, NJ
(ACUA, 2015). To view all types of battery, their uses and how they should be disposed
of, reference Appendix III.

Electronics
Unfortunately, the ACUA does not accept any form of electronic waste (e-waste),
but that does not mean that it should be thrown away either. New Jersey Law prohibits
computers, cell phones, monitors, laptops, portable computers and televisions from going
in the trash and as of January 1, 2011 the Electronic Waste Management Act requires this
waste to be properly disposed and recycled in New Jersey (Electronics Recycling, 2015).
For this reason, it is important to be able to conveniently dispose of any e-waste in a safe
and legal way. As a solution to this problem, the proposed recycling hubs at Stockton
would also offer a place to recycle such electronics. This resource would be particularly
useful for Stockton students who live on campus and have old computer, phones or
televisions that need to be disposed of. It is clear that the ACUA would not be able to
collect any e-waste collected at these recycling hubs, but fortunately, there is an
electronics recycling facility close to Stockton University, named Greenway Computers,
located in Somers Point, NJ. Greenway Computers allows individuals to drop off any
recyclable electronic waste, and follows all federal, state, and local regulations for
recycling (Greenway Computers, n.d.). To find any other related facilities that would
provide similar services, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection
(NJDEP) provides a list of all facilities in the state that accept e-waste (NJDEP, 2015). If

Reductions in Solid Waste

11

Stockton University

having and e-waste station in the recycling hubs turn out to be too impractical, it is also
possible to hold electronic drop-off days, once or twice a semester that encourage
students, staff, and faculty to bring in any unwanted and recyclable electronics.

Ink Jet Cartridges


Ink Jet cartridges, similar to batteries and e-waste, cannot be incorporated
in single-stream recycling, and should not be thrown away in the trash either. ACUA
does not collect ink jet cartridges either, but it is still possible for Stockton to collect them
at the recycling hubs because Many Companies, including Staples, Best Buy, Target, all
which are in close proximity to Stockton University, will accept old ink cartridges, to be
recycled, at no cost.

These recycling hubs include in Stockton 2020 Recycling Program would provide a convenient
place for student, staff, and faculty to bring any items that are other wise difficult to dispose of
properly, and it would hardly take any extra effort on Stocktons part. Our survey showed that 40
out of 53 individuals throw away old batteries and electronics, but 50 out of 53 individuals said
that if Stockton had a location to recycle, they would recycle these items rather than throwing
them in the trash. By offering these resources, which are convenient and easy to use, it would
encourage a significant amount of people on campus to properly recycle, not only reducing waste
on campus, but also helping to prevent further pollution from landfills, that could cause harm to
the environment. Transport of all other recyclables, not collected by the ACUA, can be
transported to their specific location by Stocktons custodial staff or
5.4 EDUCATION PROGRAMS
The education component of the Stockton 2020 Recycling Program is the most important
component of the entire program. Regardless of how sustainable an institutions recycling
resources are, if nobody is educated on how to use them and the positive impacts associated with
using them, then the resources themselves become useless. People often fail to recycle properly
for two reasons: primarily because they are simply unaware of what items can and cannot be
recycled/the negative impacts on the environment associated with poor recycling practices, and
also because some feel that the inconvenience of recycling outweighs the benefits. At Stockton
University, under the Stockton 2020 Recycling Program, both of these issues can be address
using fairly simple and cost effective solutions. Several methods of education can be used to help
student, staff, and faculty become more aware of what items are recyclable. A study at East
North Carolina University was conducted in 2014 to investigate if the water bottle disposal
habits of people at a university workout center could be altered toward a new recycling habit
through the use of educational signs and associated environmental modifications. Overall, the
study showed that it is effective to increase awareness through post clear and easy to understand
signs and messages over an extended period and to follow the awareness campaign with an
Reductions in Solid Waste

12

Stockton University

environmental change (Becker, 2014). This concept of raising awareness and pairing it with
environmental change can be applied at Stockton University to help solve both issues related to
poor recycling habits. The use of signs and posters, outlining proper ways to recycle and the
environmental and economic benefits of recycling, appearing in hallways and common areas
around campus will help to raise awareness why it is important to recycle properly. Following
this awareness campaign, environmental modification of implementing uniform trash bins that
are more recycle-friendly will encourage people to take what they have learned from the posters
and put it into action, and most people will actually feel good after successfully recycling and
knowing that they contributed to an important issue.
Additionally, Stockton can host education programs offered by the ACUA to help
encourage proper recycling habits. The ACUA also provides materials needed in order to share
the message of recycling with students, staff, and faculty (ACUA, 2015).
5.5 MONITORING COMPONENT
In order to monitor the progress of the 2020 Recycling Program, it may be possible to
measure the percentage of recyclable materials through spot checks of each recycling bin to
ensure that individuals on Stocktons campus are properly disposing of their waste. It is also
possible to conduct surveys once every semester to help understand how recycling habits are
shifting over time, and whether improving the recycling resources on campus are effective in
reducing waste. By comparing each years result to baseline data or the previous years results, the
recycling programs progress can be evaluated. Specifically, success of this project would be
measured through reductions in generated solid waste. By measuring how much solid waste is being
produced on campus each semester, its possible to calculate reductions in waste, and over time as
data continues to be collected, trends can be established that help us understand recycling at Stockton
and further improve resources to encourage proper recycling. Ultimately, Stockton would like to see
30% solid waste reduction by 2020.
The task of monitoring this program can be an ongoing project conducted by interested
students, and even offered as a paid internship, to encourage student to do accurate and professional
work. Regardless of who controls the monitoring process, it is an important component of the
program because it allows us to understand how student, staff and faculty are responding to the
changes being made around campus, and whether alterations in the program need to be made.

6.0 CONCLUSION
The Stockton 2020 Recycling Program, if properly implemented, will have a strong
college-wide impact. The entire school will naturally be engaged just by being at school and
aware of their surroundings. Once the program is in place, it will most likely be more difficult to

recycle improperly than it will be to practice proper recycling habits. Individuals on campus will
benefit from the knowledge acquired through informative posters and actually feel good knowing
that they are contributing to an important environmental cause, ultimately increasing moral and
overall well-being on campus.
This program will also benefit the school as a whole because well-run recycling
programs, in general, cost less to operate than large amounts of waste collection, landfilling, and
incineration. Also, practicing such sustainable methods of waste management will help to
encourage other environmentally friendly and sustainable actions on campus.
