Recycling

Glendale Community College is exceeding the goal the California’s Integrated Waste Management Act has set, requiring 25 percent of all solid waste generated to be recycled. The 25 percent goal was set Jan. 1, 2001, and will be increased to 50 percent by Jan. 1, 2004. GCC is currently recycling 51 percent of all waste.

“Even though we don’t have the special recycling trash cans,” says Dan Padilla, manager of maintenance and operations and campus recycling coordinator, “anything that is thrown out on campus gets recycled.” The trash is sent to the Material Recovery Facility (MRF), which is the college’s local trash deposit. Here, the trash is sorted out and all that can be recycled, is.
