Thank you!Congratulations to Neff Hall - the winner of this years Recyclemania competition!

Southern participated again this year and Neff Hall won the competition, breaking Brownell Halls two year winning streak.
SCSU is now SINGLE STREAM
Say goodbye to sorting!
Effective July 1, 2011, paper, bottles, cans and cardboard recycling can
be placed in the same recycling bins. Known as "single-stream recycling," SCSU has
joined the effort in changing the recycling system to collect common recyclables in
the same bin. Recycling bins across campus received new labels announcing the types
of commodities that can be recycled. Label replacement occured gradually throughout
the 2011-2012 academic year. While bins may continue to be labeled "Paper" or "Bottles,
Cans & Plastics," the campus community members can place recyclables in either bin.
There are also locations across campus, such as in the residence halls and
in the Engleman rotunda, for regulated wastes (e.g. batteries, ink cartidges, etc.).
The Recycling Center also holds an e-waste (electronic waste) collection drive. For
