"Concordia Green" is the name of the university initiative to become a responsible steward of the resources with which God has blessed us. Begun in part as a result of the bluff restoration project (2004-2006), President Patrick Ferry has asked the members of the Concordia community to raise their awareness of environmental and resource issues facing the university and its community. The first result of "Concordia Green" has been to update and publicize its current recycling policy, so that a greater number of community members participate in that program.
UPDATED RECYCLING GUIDELINES
Goal
The goal of Concordia's recycling program is to provide its community members access to recycling opportunities, so that students, staff, faculty and other members of our community participate in the effort to recycle aluminum cans, plastic bottles, and a wide variety of paper products.
Recycling Centers
The Concordia Green recycling centers will be collection points for recyclable materials. Maintenance will pick up recyclables three times a week. The recycling centers will be located in these areas on the Mequon campus:
- Katharine lobby
- Wittenberg lobby
- Phoenix lounge
- Field House lobby
|
- Regents atrium
- Rincker stairwell
- Falcon Nest
- Heidelberg lounge
