The Office of Sustainability has been working with Circular Solutions to improve Boise State’s recycling system.  We are looking to revamp the recycling system by implementing new signage, bin design, custodial training, and recycling education. Are you interested in having someone talk to your class about recycling? Please contact Amy Parrish at sustainability@boisestate.edu if you have any questions or would like to help with this effort.
