Coastal Village: Recycling Journey

How we got here...

What is recycling about?

Recycling is the process of collecting and processing materials that would otherwise be thrown away as trash and turning them into new products.

  • Coastal Village (CV) Apartments has had recycling on and off for a few years now, and we wanted to know why.
  • Previous students before us have complained to the office about no recycling but nothing had made a permanent effect.

Phase 2

By: Alexandra Gonzalez, Catherine Scudlo,

Chelsea McNeely

  • survey results
  • Emory emailed back
  • POOF recycling bins are back but more problems occur
  • There still is no Facebook posts about recycling or handouts to residents yet. Residents have no way of knowing or education of how to recycle properly.

Look recycling!

Phase 1

Here too! Both of these pictures were

taken in the front of the complex

  • created survey
  • got in contact with office and they already started making excuses
  • Emailed Emory Smith from the Lee Recycling Plant

Results

Recycling bins in the back as well

  • Even though recycling has returned it has done so poorly. There are no signs, and only 2 locations of recycling bins in the front and back. In the back location, the recycling bins are hidden so some residents have no idea they are available to them.
  • The key is to keep pursing CV to recycle properly and hopefully Colloquium students in the future will also help.
  • Propose a separate trash/recycling day for buildings and more pick up days.
  • Coastal will be saving more money and will have a cleaner facility if they pursue recycling and educate its residents.

Drive

Core

Our plan of action is to create a survey that people can give their own opinion to the matter. Also we want to make awareness about the issue through Facebook, and flyers. Then of course get contact with the office, and talk to someone from the Recycling Plant to see if they can help us.

  • We think CV needs to become more sustainable, so it can promote a healthier lifestyle, teach responsibility, create a sense of place, and awareness for FGCU students .
  • Our school's mission promotes environmental sustainability and since there has been previous attempts to get recycling at CV we decided to give it a try our own way.
