    Abstract

    As of January 2008, Worcester Polytechnic Institute only recycles

    office mix, cardboard, batteries, and computer electronics. A major

    component missing from WPI's current recycling program is plastic,

    glass, and aluminum bottle and can collection. This report

    summarizes the history of waste management and the benefits of

    recycling, reviews WPI's existing recycling practices, and presents

    options for implementing can and bottle collection. Based on our

    research, the best plan of implementation is proposed and

    suggested for adoption by the WPI community.
