RECYCLING
City still discussing possible curbside recycling services
Private companies offer curbside pick-up, KU has a drop-off
BY ALEESE KOPF akopf@kansan.com
Chris Scafe, owner of Sunflower Recycling, picks up recyclables at 1644 W 20th Terrace. Sunflower Recycling is one of several local businesses that pick up recyclables from homes and businesses for a monthly fee.
Place plastic in one bin, tin and aluminum in another. Put chipboard and white paper together. Separate newspapers from the magazines and catalogs.
Lauren Ashman and her roommates are very familiar with this once-a week process.
But instead of getting in the car on a cold, snowy day and hauling her recycling to drop-off centers like the one at Wal-Mart, Ashman, a junior from St. Louis, pays $15 a month to a private curbside recycling company.
While neither the city of Lawrence or the University offer curbside recycling services, both are looking at ways to encourage recycling efforts by working with what they have. The city discussed engaging in a marketing campaign to spread awareness and increase usage with private businesses
"We were really bad about actually taking our recycling to Wal-Mart," Ashman said. "I think at one point we accumulated recycling in our garage and basement for an entire semester."
already offering the service. The KU Environmental Stewardship Program is looking at ways to improve its drop-off system and to improve efficiency.
City commissioners are still reviewing a plan made by the Sustainability Advisory Board last week. The plan seeks to increase
curbside recycling by creating an advertising campaign educating people about existing services, purchasing uniform recycling bins for all companies and
"Students should take advantage of the service especially all the big houses throughout the student ghetto."
"One goal was to find the best way to increase recycling in the city," Lehrman said. "With a number of different options, you're going to find one that meets your needs."
requiring those companies to register with the city and provide data on the amount of material they are recycling.
Currently these options include five privately-owned curbside services ranging in cost from
Matthew Lehrman, chair of the Sustainability Advisory Board, said that the board has debated various proposals for years and that the commissioners gave positive feedback to the official recommendation made last Tuesday. But Lehrman said the board decided to work with private recycling companies because the city wasn't likely to create a program of its own in the short term due to financial reasons.
EZRA HUSCHER Salina senior
in cost from $15 to $20 for weekly pick-ups.
E z r a Huscher, sustainability coordinator of the student cooperative Ad Astra, said her house has been using Tree Hugger Recycling's
curbside service since 2005. Huscher, a senior from Salina, splits the $20 fee between the other nine people living in the house. She said the service was worth it for students living with roommates because they could share the cost.
"Students should take advantage of the service, especially all the big houses throughout the student ghetto." Huscher said. "Curbside recycling services already come through once a week after all."
KU Recycling offers a drop-off trailer in the West Park & Ride lot, but the trailer doesn't accept
glass. Celeste Hoins, program manager for the Environmental Stewardship Program, said that she hoped to accept glass in the future, but that the program needed other improvements before it could expand the materials it handled.
"Right now, improving the drop-off system and making the most use of time and resources would be the most efficient way to move forward," she said.
Hoins said that there was an interest in providing curbside
recycling to KU students, but that the program doesn't have the money for the service. She said funding could come from a student fee, but added that that wouldn't be fair to students who commute to campus or who don't recycle.
Insurance, liability and legal issues are also issues with providing the service, she said.
