The recycling revolution may have come and gone with the 1980s, but one student group feels the issue still requires attention.Project Community, an environmental group, is circulating a petition around campus asking Ohio State to improve recycling on campus, said Mario Covic, environmental coordinator at Project Community.Covic said OSU needs to educate students more on recycling and make it easier for students to recycle in the dorms.Project Community plans to get 1,000 signatures on the petition and present it to President-designate William Kirwan when he arrives at the university, he said.”Project Community would like to see the administration put more money into recycling instead of sports arenas,” Covic said.OSU is doing a good job right now, but it could do better compared to other schools its size.The University of Michigan has an excellent, user-friendly recycling program, Covic said.Sarah Archer, recycling coordinator at Michigan, said they recycled 2,100 tons of paper last year. This includes office paper, cardboard, magazines, and newspaper.”Because Michigan has a bottle law, most students do not recycle their cans and bottles, so the majority of our recycled material is paper,” Archer said.It takes a lot of continuous effort and education to keep a recycling program going, she said.Last year OSU recycled 1,297 tons of material, including paper, aluminum, and glass, said Anne Dunlope, recycling supervisor at OSU.OSU picks up recycling in 182 buildings on campus, she said.OSU began its current recycling program in 1993, Dunlope said. In 1993, OSU picked up 630 tons of materials from 53 buildings.Residence and Dining Halls are working to improve recycling in dorms by putting more recycling bins in the trash rooms to make it easier for students to recycle, Dunlope said.Project Community is also working to improve recycling off-campus, Covic said.A new group called Off-Campus Student Alliance is working on a program called Adopt-a-Block, which would allow student groups to adopt campus blocks to pick up trash and recycled goods, he said.Students who want to recycle off-campus can drop recyclable materials off at 104 E. 15th Ave. every second and fourth Sunday of each month from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m., Covic said.
