Why the change to mixed/ single stream recycling?
Based on a survey of student and faculty feedback about recycling at UCLA, we determined that the UCLA wanted a more convenient recycling program with more recycling bins. To achieve this, we are switching to single stream recycling. It is highly effective and is used by many communities, schools, and businesses around the world. Switching to single stream will help UCLA reach its waste diversion (not going to a landfill) goals of 75% by 2012 and 100% by 2020.
