"Get out Green" is a program developed and promoted by Residence Life as a pilot this year to try and save room carpets that would otherwise end up at the landfill instead end up in the recycling stream. It is a pilot this year in Dickinson Complex, James Smith, Thomas McKean, and Independence Halls. Residents will be encouraged to leave their used room carpets in designated areas to be picked up at the end of next week and taken to a recycling dumpster off campus where they will go to Georgia to be recycled in a plant. Facilities will be helping by getting the carpets to the recycling bin. Your help is needed to fill up the room pictured above in Independence with your used carpets. Look for information to be posted around the affected buildings giving you info on where to place your carpet to be recycled. Not only will this be great for enviroinment, but it will also save us money for tonnage going to the landfill.
