Groups of 4 to 12 are welcome for a one hour presentation and tour.

With school back into in-person mode, we are all noticing how our habits have been disrupted over the past year and a half.  As we increase our on-campus presence, and once again strive to reach our campus Zero Waste goal, a habit worth reviving is that of properly sorting our recyclables, compost and waste.  

Consider what legendary CU Women’s Basketball Coach Ceal Barry has to say about habits and Zero Waste. With 427 career victories, Coach Barry is the winningest coach in CU history, and she knows that establishing effective habits is the key to achieving change and success.

Facilities Management can assist you with good habit formation.  We are pleased to offer a new outreach program that you and your colleagues will find engaging, fun and highly informative. For groups of 4-12, we’ll start with a brief presentation, followed by some mock recycling (where you are guaranteed to learn something you didn’t know before).  Then we will take you on a tour of the on-campus recycling facility, do some Q&A and hand out some sweet sustainable CU-branded gear.  What better way to spend an hour?

So, round up your campus colleagues, reach out to recycling@colorado.edu, and we will get you on the schedule.
