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.
