	Zero-Sort Recycling an article by Alexander For most of my college experience, recycling has been a heavily wrestled over topic at Colby-Sawyer College. From fire hazards to miscommunication recycling has become less accessible on campus. For the academic year of 2011-2012 the college has partnered with a new waste management company to help increase its recycling output. A new type of recycling has come across the Colby-Sawyer College campus. The termed ZERO-SORT recycling comes from Casella Waste Management, has created a process in which people can place all their recyclables on campus. This is to help increase the amount of recycling leaving the campus, while decreasing the levels of trash. Zero-Sort requires people to recycle multiple objects and place them in the same bin. The recyclables include: Plastic, Paper, Glass, Cardboard, and Metal. My job has been to help reach out to students throughout campus, and inspire our campus to recycle more. From working to get recycling bins to every floor on campus, to ensuring we have proper signage around each bin. Through this new Program, our school has already seen an increase in our recycling. When the campus can come together and recycle at an even greater capacity, we can show just how much Zero-Sort recycling can make a change.
