Background Clemson University initiated its recycling program in 1990. Since then, the amount of recycled goods generated has increased due to improved equipment at Kite Hill, Clemson‟s recycling center, and student run recycling programs. According to the recycling coordinator, Thomas Jones, Clemson is “intellectually honest” about the amount of materials that have actually been recycled (Jones, personal interview, 2009). Many other universities include materials such as donated clothing that are reused, not recycled, in their recycling rate. At Clemson, these materials are accounted for as “landfill avoidance.” In order to calculate the percent of landfill avoidance, factors such as Construction and Demolition (C&D) and Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) are included in the calculation. Recycled MSW is garbage that has been recycled; at Clemson these materials include all types of paper (loose, office, and baled), cardboard, books, glass, plastic, steel cans, aluminum, pallets, scrap metal, confidential documents, toner and inkjet cartridges, and batteries. During the fiscal years of 2007-2008 to 2008-2009 the percentage of Recycled MSW increased from 17.1% to 20.1% respectively. Construction and Demolition consists of any construction related work. To calculate the percent of landfill avoidance you take the total amount of waste, recycled and all other waste, and divide by the amount of recycled material (Jones, personal interview, 2009). Landfill avoidance is calculated as: (MSW + C&D + MSW Recycled + C&D Recycled) / (MSW Recycled + C&D Recycled) (Jones, personal interview, 2009). In 2007-2008 the University‟s landfill avoidance or overall recycling rate was 36%. From 20082009, the rate dropped to 28%. Even though the rate of Recycled MSW increased from 20072008 to 2008-2009, the percentage of landfill avoidance decreased because of the construction of new buildings such as Rhodes Annex Hall, Sonoco Institute, and the Academic Success Buildings. These construction projects produced a large amount of waste, and most of which was not be recycled. Therefore, even though the total amount of recycled materials increased, the percentage, with respect to the total amount of waste, decreased. These new projects were included in C&D (Jones, personal interview, 2009). Before 2000 South Carolina‟s statewide goal for recycling was 25% but was increased to 35% in October of 2000 when the S.C. Solid Waste Policy and Management Act was amended (DHEC, 2008). Despite recent construction activities, Clemson is dedicated to meeting this goal. The recycling program is continually trying to become more efficient. Recently, the custodial staff acquired the responsibility of emptying the recycling bins around campus, previously handled by the recycling department. Rather than both the recycling staff and custodial staff covering all of Clemson‟s campus, the bins are emptied two or three times a week by the custodial staff responsible for the respective building. The recycled material is then delivered to Kite Hill where it is handled by a few members of the recycling department. This system allows Clemson to recycle more efficiently (Jones, interview, 2009). Although there have been minimal changes, the program still aspires to increase the recycling rate at Clemson University. New programs and events continually promote recycling around campus. An example of this is “Lighten Your Load,” one of the most successful student run programs, where students donate unwanted items such as clothing and furniture in order to “lighten their load” when they head back home for the summer. Clemson also sponsors a “Solid

Recycling

Green” day each year to encourage students and faculty to gather trash around campus to instill pride to keep the campus beautiful and dispose of waste properly in cans placed throughout campus. Laws and Regulations According to the state law of South Carolina, every county, state agency and publicly funded college and university must report the amount of material it recycles annually. This report must be completed by September. Each report must be in compliance with the S.C. Solid Waste Policy and Management Act of 1991 (DHEC, 2008). This act contains detailed procedures and regulations regarding solid waste management and recycling. The Solid Waste Policy and Management act requires each institution to provide recommendations to improve the recycling industry. The act also requires that the report published by the recycling departments follow the Administrative Procedure Act, which states how documents must be filed. Each plan must include “procedures and requirements for the meeting of state goals for waste reduction and recycling.” The state‟s goal is to recycle 35% of the total waste stream generated in South Carolina (DHEC, 2008). Clemson University achieved a 28% recycling rate in the 2008-2009 fiscal year (Jones, personal interview, 2009). Scope Recycling is the act of processing used or abandoned materials for use in creating new products. Recycling preserves the environment by reducing the need to use landfills and incinerators for solid waste (DHEC 2008). By preventing recyclable materials from entering landfills or incinerators, natural resources, such as timber, water, and minerals are conserved. Recycling preserves the environment by reducing the number of pollutants entering the air, soil and water. By performing the act of recycling, energy usage can be reduced. Recycling one aluminum can saves enough energy to burn a 100-watt light bulb for 20 hours. Recycling one year‟s worth of newspapers saves 2,200 gallons of water, four trees, and prevents 15 pounds of pollutants from entering the atmosphere. Recycling one ton of paper saves 17 trees and 3 cubic yards of landfill space (U.S. EPA, 2008). Recycling reduces energy usage because the manufacturer does not have to create the material from "raw" ingredients such as timber. It takes 95% less energy to make aluminum from recycled aluminum rather than virgin materials (Brennan, 2008). The Recycling section of the environmental audit gives a brief overview of the history and laws of recycling for Clemson University. The statistics for the current recycling program are given depicting what can be recycled, the percentage of materials that are recycled, the tons of materials recycled, the expenditures by the recycling department, and finally the revenues from recycling. This data is given for several years to depict the changes that have taken place within the recycling department. Information concerning the numerous recycling programs is provided in hopes of demonstrating the current student and faculty involvement in the program. The Where to Recycle section indicates information about recycling on campus and Clemson‟s recycling facilities. A conclusive study is given along with an auditor's perspective. These enable recommendations for future studies to be made.

Current Recycling Program At Clemson, the mission of the Recycling Department is as follows: “To provide comprehensive recycling and composting services to the Clemson University campus.” To accomplish this, we provide centralized recycling convenience centers, while also oversee the development of public awareness programs, public participation programs, and the provision of public education to minimize waste generation while diverting measurable quantities of waste destined for the landfill” (Clemson University 2009). What Can Be Recycled The number of materials that Clemson is able to recycle is extensive. Currently, the list of recyclable materials at Clemson includes:               

Aluminum Batteries * Catalogs Construction & Demolition Wastes Fluorescent Bulbs* Glass (Clear, Brown, and Green) Magazines Oil Paper (Office Paper, Newspaper, and Mixed Paper) Phone Books Plastic (Types #1 and Types #2) Steel Cans Tires Toner / Ink Cartridges Scrap Metal

* These materials can only be recycled at Kite Hill if they were used by Clemson University. Because batteries and florescent bulbs are considered universal waste, Clemson does not solicit these items from students for recycling purposes. Only batteries and fluorescent bulbs used by the university and not individual usage can be recycled at Kite Hill. While the recycling processes for both of these items are rather expensive, they are still executed using university materials. A list of where these products can be recycled is found on the Recycling Department's homepage so that students and faculty can still recycle these items elsewhere. Clemson’s Construction & Demolition (C&D) Waste Management Plan Clemson‟s new C&D waste management plan, initiated in 2008, stipulates how much material must be recycled in construction and demolition. The plan specifies four different types of construction projects: Indefinite Delivery projects, Internal Minor projects, Contracted Minor projects, and Major projects.

Recycling

Indefinite Delivery projects o Cost under $150,000 o Handled by an IDC contractor. Internal Minor projects o Handled by the Facilities Management employees o Exclude projects classified as Major projects. Contracted Minor projects o Cost more than $150,000, but less than $1,000,000. Major projects o Cost more than $1,000,000 o Any remodeling that is greater than 50% of the building‟s replacement cost o Any addition greater than 5,000 ft 2. The plan specifies that contractors must fill out forms detailing the amount of material recycled and salvaged, ensuring that all waste and recycled material is properly reported. The Major projects have more specific guidelines regarding recycling, detailing exactly which materials are recycled and how they are to be processed for recycling. This plan is especially important because construction and demolition adds a vast quantity to Clemson‟s waste stream. Percentage of Materials Recycled Figure R-1: Percentage of Materials Recycled at Clemson University

Figure R-1 This figure shows the percentage of different materials recycled at Clemson, during the 2008-2009 fiscal year. Over 1,164 tons of materials were recycled during the last fiscal year. Paper contributes the largest quantity with 27.31% of the total tons recycled. Construction and Demolition (C&D) constitutes 20.12% of the total and includes new constructions on campus for the Academic Success Center and Harris A. Smith Building. The majority of C&D is attributed to these new buildings. Yard Waste with 15.78% of the total includes leaves, logs, and twigs among other items. The majority of recycled yard waste is mulched and reused around campus. The “other” category includes items such as steel cans, aluminum, batteries, toner/inkjet cartridges, and

Recycling

lamps. These items ranged in less than 7 tons and formed only minimal percentages of the total tons recycled. Clemson University‟s recycling program has set an internal goal of diverting 50% of its waste stream. This is substantially higher than the South Carolina‟s mandated 35% (Waste Management Plan 2009). According to the data received by Clemson‟s recycling department, during the fiscal year of 2007-2008, Clemson recycled at a rate of 17.1% and increased to 20.1% in 2008-2009. These percentages do not include used motor oil, cooking oil, C&D material, and yard waste; they are items included in the Non-MSW (Municipal Solid Waste) section. MSW includes all other recyclable items such as paper, plastic, pallets, scrap metal, cardboard, and glass. It is notable that C&D contributes a significant amount of the total tonnage but to avoid miscalculations we did not try to combine C&D values with MSW items without knowing the total amount of materials non-recycled. Also, C&D numerical values for 2003-2007 were recorded in cubic yards instead of tons, and therefore were not included in the calculation of landfill avoidance. Having these values in cubic yards rather than tons makes it nearly impossible to add them to the total amount of waste or recycling for these years. From 20072008, 889.63 tons for C&D were recycled but the C&D level decreased to 234.25 tons in the 2008-2009 fiscal year. Tons of Material Recycled Figure R-2: Tons of Material Recycled from 2000-2009 (not including C&D or Yard Waste)

Figure R-2 This figure shows the increasing amount of material recycled by Clemson each year.

Recycling The increase in recycling can be attributed to an improved awareness among the student body. Programs such as “Recyclemania” help to enhance recycling throughout campuses across the nation. Figure R-2 does not account for Construction and Demolition or Yard Waste, because these numbers are not found for some years. Because C&D and yard waste account for a large portion of the recycling, these statistics are addressed in Clemson's Waste Management Plan. Expenditures Figure R-3: Clemson‟s Recycling Expenditure

Figure R-3 This figure shows the expenditure for Clemson‟s Recycling Program. The expenditure for Clemson‟s recycling program is handled in association with the custodial budget. It should be noted that the expenditure on Clemson's recycling program is in no way related to the effectiveness of the program. Comparing Figure R-3 with Figure R-2, it can be seen that the amount of material that is being recycled continues to increase even though the expenditures on the program are not increasing. Awareness plays a much bigger part than expenditure in a profitable recycling campaign. Revenue Figure R-4: Revenue from Recycling

Figure R-4 This figure shows the revenue produced from recycling. Clemson‟s recycling revenue comes primarily from contract, aluminum, and scrap metal sales. The revenue from the recycling department has increased every year, except for 2007, when only $16,599 was made. Although the revenue did not increase, this can be attributed to both the variation in market prices of materials and the timetable for payments from the purchasers played a big part in the lack in revenue increase. The cost of the recyclable materials changes rather quickly. For example, in October 2008 the price for a ton of baled newspapers was about $150, and by November, it dropped to $60 a ton (Bowman, 2008). Also, payment checks for the recycled materials may come slower during some months, which could have pushed some of the revenue from the recycled materials in 2007 into 2008. This may incorrectly show higher revenue in 2008 based upon the accounting principles used to record revenues as when they are received not earned. Keeping the possible distortions in mind, the data still depicts an increase in revenue throughout the years. Recycling Programs on Campus Schiletter Dining Hall (2008) Recycling programs implemented Schiletter include experimentation with a compost system to help reduce the 1200-1500 lbs. of waste produced each day. To further this program, more

equipment is needed to compost the compressed waste that has already been collected. This program is being currently being used in Schiletter, but if it is deemed successful then it will be used to reduce food waste in other dining areas on campus. Asphalt Rubber Technology Service (ARTS) (2000) A partnership between South Carolina's Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) and Clemson University. Created for the purpose of promoting, designing, and testing the use of recycled scrap tires in rubberized asphalt and other civil infrastructure applications. Provides grant funding to South Carolina cities and counties for several test projects each year, performing research to discover new uses and improve upon existing uses of scrap tires, maintaining a website (www.ces.clemson.edu/arts) and technical library for information requests. ARTS Research Facility equipped with state-of-the-art testing equipment shown below in Photo R-3 for asphalt binder and asphalt concrete mixtures. Completed 25 test projects using scrap tires, including 19 rubber-modified asphalt application projects, four playground projects, one running track project and one turf grass (sports surface) project. Participated in technology transfer with a variety of other U.S. states and other foreign countries, including Canada, Belgium, Scotland, China, Japan, Italy, Brazil, South Korea, Sweden and Poland (Mary Corley, interview, 2009).

Student Programs Solid Green started in 2006, and was the first program of its kind at a college in South Carolina. It began as an anti-litter campaign but has expanded their mission to encompass both recycling and conservation. Solid Green has now partnered with the city of Clemson in an effort to keep both the city and campus clean. The program focuses on education

however it strongly encourages all persons to take responsibility for their actions while having enough pride to 'Keep Clemson Clean'. o The “Lighten Your Load Program,” started in 1994, at Clemson has donated more than 48,000 pounds of clothing, household items, and non-perishable foods to the local Salvation Army and Clemson Community Care since the last Environmental Audit was conducted. Since 2002, the program has helped Clemson divert over 36.96 tons of waste from landfills. o “Recyclemania” is a nationwide competition set up by the College and University Recycling Council (CURC) that encourages universities to recycle by tracking the amount of material recycled by the student bodies. Even though this program has shown success in increasing recycling at other schools, Clemson has lacked the promotion and resources to be successful in the competition. The “Students for Environmental Awareness” organization encourages recycling during home football games in association with Solid Green. Where to Recycle Most of the more common materials, such as aluminum cans and glass bottles, can be deposited in the blue recycling bins located around campus, outside of computer labs, and also in residence halls. Faculty members have access to recycling bins for paper in their office. Once these bins are full they can be taken to the large blue bins or convenient centers on campus. Next, these materials will be taken by the individual or custodian responsible for collecting them to the recycling center at Kite Hill. The recycling center at Kite Hill takes aluminum, batteries, cardboard, fluorescent bulbs (including compact fluorescent bulbs), glass, magazines, catalogs, motor oil and filters, phonebooks, paper, plastics type one and type two, and steel cans (Clemson, 2008). Once a large enough quantity of recyclable materials is collected at Kite Hill, it is then picked up by semi-truck and transported to recycling facilities where it is actually processed into reusable products. Location of Recycling Bins on Campus The fall 2009 recycling section audit team, after reading the previously made audit, decided to undertake the challenge of determining the location and type of recycling bins on campus. This project entailed walking through each building and recording the amount, type, and size of the bins on each floor. This project was encouraged by Thomas Jones, Clemson‟s recycling coordinator, because of the valuable information that would result. The information concerning the location and amount of recycling bins on each floor in each building could be used when increasing the amount of bins and placing them where they would be most beneficial. In addition to collecting the data the ‟09 recycling audit team prepared a graphical representation of the location of the recycling bins to be used by students, teachers and faculty. The total number of bins found on campus in the chosen buildings was 308. This can be compared with the 1300 bins placed all around campus. Academic buildings were chosen due to the high traffic flow throughout these building by students and faculty. Academic buildings were classified as all of the buildings listed under the „Academic‟ subsection of the Clemson University campus map. Some of the buildings on this

Recycling

list were strictly research buildings and were not located directly on campus. These buildings were not explored. On campus buildings listed on the map were carefully explored to evaluate the number of recycling bins. The group was then able to create its own version of the campus map (Figure R-5). The map is used to derive the graphs (Figures R-6a and R-6b) which are used to represent the “Average Number of Recycling Bins in Academic Buildings.” The differing colors on the graphs correspond to the colors used on the map representing the average categories. Red represents an average of less than one recycling bin per floor, yellow depicts the average of one to three bins per floor, and green indicates more than three bins per floor on average. Cook Engineering Lab, Daniel Hall, Earle Hall, Greenhouse Complex, Olin Hall, and Tillman Hall had no recycling bins on any floor. They are labeled red on the map but have no bar on the graphs indicating zero bins were found. One goal of producing the graph was to enhance the awareness among pupils and faculty about the placement of recycling bins. The use of this map should increase the percentage rate of recycling making Clemson‟s goal of 50% become more attainable. Appendix A lists data for each building.

Figure R-6b: Average Number of Recycling Bins in Academic Buildings (J-Z)

Figure R-7b This figure shows the average number of recycling bins per floor in each academic building with names from A-I. As seen on Figure R-6, buildings colored green have three or more recycling bins per floor. Buildings colored yellow have less than three recycling bins per floor but greater than one bin per floor. Red buildings have one bin or less per floor. Most of the buildings that are colored red don't have any recycling bins at all. This map template is familiar with most students since it‟s used online as the camps map. Although Clemson has one of the most notable programs no map has ever been produced to familiarize people with locations of the bin placement, nor averages. The graph should be displayed conspicuously throughout campus for recognition of the current recycling environment. Summary The current budget for 2008-2009 is $244,567. Administration estimates that Clemson has approximately 1,300 recycling bins on campus, ranging in size from 3 to 95 gallons; the 95 gallon bins are new additions from the 1,000 bins recorded in the last audit. Construction and demolition produced the highest percentage of total waste tonnage recycled at Clemson in 2007-2008; however, data for C&D from certain years is missing.

Recycling

From 2002-2008, Clemson saved more than 20,000 cubic yards of landfill space total by diverting over 6,300 tons of waste. Approximately 36% of waste generated at Clemson was recycled in 2007-2008. Since the year 2000, Clemson has recycled over 2,673 tons of paper, including newspaper, saving over 45,000 trees and 8,100 cubic feet of landfill space. Since the year 2000, Clemson has recycled approximately 192 tons of glass, saving the 2,749 lbs of sand, limestone, and feldspar used to make each ton. The Lighten Your Load Recycle Program at Clemson has donated more than 39.96 tons of clothing, household items, non-perishable food to the Salvation Army and Clemson Community Care since 2002 (Jones, interview, 2009). Auditor’s Perspective Over the years Clemson has gradually diversified the materials collected. However, the recycling department at the university has not been immune to the economic recession. In 2005-2006 Clemson University‟s recycling department employed ten full-time equivalents (FTE). This means that the numerous part-time workers are equivalent to ten full-time workers. Currently, there are only two FTE employed in the recycling department. Although the number of people working has decreased, the jobs are still able to be adequately completed; thus the cut back is not affecting the success of the recycling program. Even though recycling has increased overall, factors such as market prices and reduced consumption may be a factor in any decrease in the amount of recycled materials for any year. In order to become one of the top recycling programs in the nation, Clemson must first reach its goal of a 50% recycling rate. This will increase recycling revenue as well as reduce the university‟s impact on the environment. After the 50% recycling rate is reached, the cost of recycling will decrease while the cost of putting waste in a landfill will increase. If recycling is the more common method of disposing of trash, it will quickly become less expensive than the landfill alternative. Here are some ways that recycling can be improved: Research recycling trends in Clemson University such as when and where the most waste is being generated. Promote recycling on campus. Many of the special recycling-related events on campus such as Earth Day, America Recycles Day, and the Benefits Fair are not promoted as well as they could be. Mass emails, posters, and banners could circulate and be posted throughout campus to promote these specific events. Recycling on a daily basis should be promoted as a way of helping the environment as many students and faculty don't even think about recycling in their everyday lives. Increase the budget allotted towards recycling at Clemson University. With a bigger budget more research can be conducted about recycling trends on campus and expansion of programs. Increased awareness will lead to more participation. The greater the participation, the greater the revenue in recycling.

Recycling

Combine recycling and solid waste collections into one department on campus. By doing so, waste could be sorted into recyclables and landfill bound materials, thus increasing recycling tonnage and revenues. Analyze the cost-benefit of recycling. This would help the University better understand the net revenue or benefits of the recycling program. Future Recommendations Here are some ways audits can be improved:  

Smaller audits should be conducted every year in order to be more in tune with recycling trends around Clemson University. Comparisons of data from each year should be included within the audits to keep up with trend analysis year to year.
