The University of Southern Maine’s Lewiston-Auburn campus recently began a new system to reduce waste generated in offices and on campus. The initiative’s goal is to increase the recycling rate on campus and reduce waste and labor costs. Members from USM’s Office of Sustainability presented the program to staff members at a meeting where participants were introduced to the “Tiny Trash Initiative”, which gives each employee a personal small trash can to help reduce waste and bag costs. Pictured are Tyler Kidder, assistant director for Sustainable Programs, Randy Estes, facilities manager at USM LAC, and Steve Sweeney, resource recovery supervisor. USM campuses in Portland and Gorham are also participating in the program. For more information about USM’s sustainability efforts visit usm.maine.edu/sustainability.
