SNHU Recycles

Southern NH University goes the extra mile in a big way!
As we progress into our second year of recycling at SNHU, we feel it is important to take a moment to thank all of you for your participation so far. Our faculty, staff and students made this program successful during the 2005-2006 school year and that good work continues this year with even more recycling activity thus far. Consistent use of the recycling bins, open communication and an overall positive response to this program is keeping things going so well. Please, continue the good work.

SNHU Students step up to recycle. Just check out these numbers
October 2005-2006 school year... 14 apartments volunteering to recycle

To those apartments currently not recycling; Please join us.

A few reasons why recycling is a good thing

Recycling is good for the community, environment and the future
It will reduce your trips to the dumpster (especially when the snow flies!)
It's easy and convenient; An automatic pickup schedule has been set up in all apartment areas. Slide your bins into the hallway on your assigned pickup day and your recyclables will be collected.
If at any point you find the program is troublesome, let us know and we will remove your bins promptly.

Contact Facilities @ 645-9613 or e-mail d.davis@snhu.edu to order your bins.

SNHU now offers shredding services

SNHU is now offering paper shredding on campus. Contact facilities at extension 9613 or e-mail d.davis@snhu.edu to schedule. Materials for shredding needs to be clean of any metals or plastic, and be ready for shredding. We hope this service will be helpful to our campus community.

You can help by being a recycling activist

If you see someone use the trash can to dispose of a recyclable product, politely urge them to use the recycling bin next time. That one person may end up recycling a lot of material from your comment alone. Imagine how much recycling would increase on campus if each person urged just one other person to recycle!
Students, we need you to promote recycling!
Our student community has been instrumental in helping spread the recycling word. Urge your neighbors to recycle! Tell them how easy and convenient recycling is and perhaps they will join in as well! Every little bit collected makes a difference.

Factoid; Styrofoam never decomposes.

Help us help keep a good thing going. Last year Dining services did away with the large Styrofoam containers and are now using new biodegradable containers to help SNHU be more environmentally friendly. These containers are costly but are important to keep our campus as Styrofoam free as possible. You can help in several ways

Eat in at the cafeteria using the china and metal utensils
Avoid asking for a takeout container unless you are planning on leaving the cafeteria. Many of these containers are eaten from in the cafeteria and thrown into the trash, which creates a lot of waste.
Remember to place your plastic, glass and aluminum containers in the recycling bins.

Thanks for helping conserve our resources in the Cafeteria and on campus.
