杏吧原创

In 1992, 杏吧原创 formally established the 杏吧原创 recycling program which has evolved and grown through the active involvement and participation of its student body, staff and faculty. In 2015, 杏吧原创 recycled 8.7 million pounds of material, an increase of 13 percent over the year before and just over triple the volume since 2010.

We provide recycling services to campus academic and administrative buildings and manage recycling initiatives for large events such as student move-out, student move-in, Commencement, and athletics events. 杏吧原创 accepts five major items through the main campus recycling program: paper, cardboard, plastic, aluminum, and glass. Non-traditional recycling听is also available at specific locations across campus and includes ink/toner cartridges, batteries, light bulbs, scrap metal, etc. Locations of recycling centers for residential housing can be found听here.

With such a large community, 杏吧原创 has the potential to generate large quantities of waste on a daily basis. In an effort to reduce the institution impact on the environment, 杏吧原创 faculty, staff, and students are encouraged to find ways to reuse, reduce waste and recycle.

• 搁别诲耻肠颈苍驳听your consumption of resources and products, whether it is using a reusable coffee mug instead of a disposable one or printing double-sided copies to save paper, reduces the amount of waste you produce.
• 搁别耻蝉颈苍驳听items that you might normally dispose is also a means of reducing waste generated.听 Look for ways to repurpose items or for places to donate unwanted products so that others can reuse them.听 Products that cannot be reused should be recycled whenever possible.
• 搁别肠测肠濒颈苍驳听involves taking used materials and making them into new products.听 This process prevents the use of raw materials and reduces energy consumption and water and air pollution involved with the production and transportation of new items.听 Recyclable materials include traditional items such as paper, aluminum, plastic, glass, and cardboard, as well as nontraditional items such as computers, electronics, toner cartridges, batteries, fluorescent light bulbs and much more!听 Materials from campus that will be recycled are collected by recycling vendors and taken to a recycling center were they may be sorted, cleaned, and processed into new materials.

The moving crew handles the moving of items for most faculty and staff at the University as well as collection of surplus items to be delivered to the Surplus Program. They also handle set-up of chairs, tables, tents, etc. for special events such as The Party and Commencement. The Moving Crew is a fee-for-service operation, so there will be a charge for their services

The Pest Control team is certified to handle most pest control problems. All team members are certified by the State of Tennessee Department of Agriculture, either in structural pest control (i.e., general pest and rodent control), bird control, and/or wood destroying organisms.

杏吧原创 practices Integrated Pest Management (IPM) which means that chemical applications are not the first line of defense to control insects and rodents. Instead, we use a combination of mechanical, sanitation, and exclusion methods to alter habitat and remove environmental conditions that would propagate a pest population. Only after these remedies are exhausted are pesticides or other chemicals used.
