Sustainability News and Events

As part of the President’s Climate Commitment, DePauw will be raising the bar concerning recycling projects on campus by participating in a national college campus recycling competition called “Recyclemania”. Facilities director Ted Fares invited Ed Newman to DPU during Focus the Nation to share his experiences with recycling at Ohio University and how the competition first came about. Some ideas that came out of Mr. Newman’s visit include conducting a campus wide “Move-out” event where everyone pools the items left behind from move-out day and then sells the items in a massive “garage sale”. This has been a big success at Ohio state and we’re looking forward to eventually bringing this to DePauw.  Recyclemania has grown to include over 200 universities nation-wide and DPU will join the friendly competition in Fall 2009!
