Like all state facilities in California, CSULB is required to reduce by 50 percent the amount of trash discarded from our campus by the end of 2004. Beyond complying with the mandate, recycling is beneficial because it conserves valuable natural resources, reduces energy consumption in the manufacturing of goods, creates jobs, stimulates business development, extends the life of landfills, and reduces disposal costs.
Facilities Management is responsible for ensuring that CSULB meets the diversion requirements established by law (AB 75), and is dedicated to making recycling and waste diversion practices on campus as easy as possible. If you have comments or suggestions on how to improve the university's recycling efforts, we welcome your feedback.
