A.S. Recycling strives to close the loop, ending the waste cycle, by reducing consumption, reusing new materials, and most importantly, buying recycled materials at the outset.<\/p>\n Perhaps the biggest new for Recycling this year is that they’ve moved.\u00a0After working out of a portable trailer for 4.5 years, AS Recycling’s lease ran out and the group moved its office space into Building 437 in the Facilities yard. While the new location is a bit smaller, it is definitely a lot nicer and allows students to work more closely with the other Facilities staff on campus waste management issues. Most importantly, Recycling still has the same easy access to its outdoor center of operations, the Eucalyptus Grove, so students can still keep all of UCSB’s waste sorted and keep it out of the landfill!<\/p>\n The program includes a keeping-it-local component, which offers workshops that are part of the larger effort to reduce our carbon footprint and build sustainable communities.
