ABSTRACT
Following the example set by Fred T. Friedman in his 1992 survey of Northeastern
colleges and universities, a research activity was conducted which involved assessment of the
recycling practices of Indiana colleges and universities. A survey instrument was designed and
sent to several Indiana colleges and universities. The results from the responding institutions were
tabulated to form a profile of recycling practices of upper-educational facilities in the state of
Indiana. A discussion of the programs includes rationale for recycling by colleges and
universities.

HYPOTHESIS
Colleges and universities, as learning institutions, have a responsibility to act as role
models for their students and the surrounding communities and to stay current with waste
reduction goals. These institutions have therefore implemented recycling programs, which are
typically far more intensive than the recycling programs of nearby communities and often operate at
a loss.
INTRODUCTION
Solid waste management is of growing importance to our society with three-quarters of
existing landfills threatening closure by the year 2000 (Griffm, 1992). While methods of waste
disposal other than landfilling have increased in use recently (Franklin & Franklin, 1992), our
national recycling rate is only 13%, far below the rates of other developed countries (Griffm,
1992). Recycling rates stay low in the United States due to the absence of markets for recycled
products, the low cost-effectiveness of recycling, and the lack of funding to subsidize recycling
programs (Khator & Huffman, 1993).
These are significant issues for college campuses where large amounts of waste accumulate
due to large numbers of students concentrated into small areas. Fred T. Friedman in "Do We
Practice What We Teach?" (1993) asserts that universities are in a unique position of teaching as
well as practicing waste management During the 1992-93 academic year, Friedman conducted a
survey of colleges and universities regarding source reduction of waste, recycling, procurement of
items with recycled content, and relevant classroom education. He conducted a mail survey using
a standardized form which was sent to 100 colleges and universities of varying sizes. The study
focused on the Northeast, with a few sent to other regions of the U.S. as a geographic control.
Sixty-one institutions responded to Friedman's survey, all of which indicated they had
recycling programs. The most commonly recycled materials were high-grade office and computer
paper and aluminum cans. This concurs with the national average of materials being recovered
from the municipal solid waste stream for recycling in which paper and paperboard garner the
highest percentage of 62.6% and metals come in third with 11.1 % (Figure I) (Franklin &

Franklin,I992). Newspaper was also widely recycled, despite the fact that the costs have dropped
to the point that institutions must pay to have the newspaper removed (Griffin, 1992). Costs have
dropped dramatically because the newspaper market is currently flooded due to mandatory
recycling programs (Wingerter, 1992) and to the lack of de-inking facilities to utilize collected
newsprint (Monon, 1992). Glass and steel cans were recycled in a majority of the institutions
surveyed. Batteries, scrap appliances, and laser canridges were recycled at a lower frequency than
paper, metals, and glass. More than half the institutions collected yard wastes for composting.
Friedman encountered very few programs which attempted to recycle motor oil, construction
debris, and hazardous waste, technologically difficult items to recycle. Items such as batteries are
difficult to dispose of because only a few facilities exist for the recycling of automotive batteries
and only one facility exists for the recycling of household alkaline batteries (Wachtel, 1993).
Appliances are difficult to dispose of because they may contain PCBs or CFCs which make them
dangerous or expensive to handle (Griffm, 1992). Although up to twenty years ago most motor
oil was re-refined and used again, motor oil is now considered difficult to dispose of due to the
many new additives which make re-refming difficult (IRC & IDEM, 1991). Plastics are also
considered difficult to dispose of because of they are expensive to recycle but relatively
inexpensive to make (Griffin, 1992).
The majority of university recycling programs were run cooperatively by students and staff
or administration. Most universities in the Friedman study did not have municipal involvement in
their recycling programs. However, most of the communities in which the schools were located
did recycle. Friedman found that an overall trend of creative disposal means existed, often
including local recyclers and farmers, only requiring a small cost to the disposer. In the Nonheast,
where landfills are rapidly reaching their limits (Griffin, 1992) and tipping fees have reached as
high as $160 per ton (lRC & IDEM, 1991), avoiding disposal costs became a motivator for
recycling.
Most of the colleges and universities that Friedman surveyed had taken steps to reduce the
amount of waste they generate. This mainly involved the use of reusable materials and doublesided copying. Several institutions also reported minimizing the amount of packaging they
accepted from manufacturers. Most institutions purchased recycled office paper and sanitary paper
with some recycled content. Additionally, several purchased recycled landscaping supplies and
-
recycled building materials (Friedman, 1993).
METHODS
To detennine if Indiana colleges and universities followed the overall trends Friedman
(1993) discovered for Northeastern institutions regarding waste, a survey was developed based on
the questions posed in his study (Appendix). This standardized survey, a letter explaining its
purpose (Appendix) and a pre-addressed stamped envelope, were sent to the PubliclUniversity
Relations officer of each of Indiana's four-year, residential institutions (Table 1) in November of
1993. Early in 1994, a second request was mailed to those schools not responding to the initial
mailing. The results of the twenty-nine respondents were tabulated (Table 2). Overall trends and
similarities to Friedman's research were examined.
RESULTS
--
All but one of the 29 respondents had some sort of recycling program at their school, most
of which (25 of 29) received institutional support. This support was mainly financial (60%), but
also included providing the labor to collect or sort materials (36%) and promoting the program oncampus (20%).
The 28 recycling institutions had a high percentage of participation from their students,
staff (employees not including professors and instructors), faculty (professors and instructors),
and administrators. Students participated at 100.0% of the schools recycling, staff at 96.4%,
faculty at 89.3%, and administration at 89.3%. As in Friedman's study, the majority of programs
(64.3%) were run cooperatively by students with administration or staff.
Collection of recyclables was accomplished mainly via drop-off bins located throughout
campus, which were then emptied by campus maintenance or housekeeping staff. These
recyclables, in most situations, were then hauled away by commercial recyclers. Several
institutions, however, had their recyclables handled by local organizations or recyclers. For
example, Purdue University sends its paper to L & J Waste Paper in Peru, Indiana where it is baled
and sent to paper mills. Their cardboard is sent to the Jefferson Smurfit Mill three miles from

Aluminum cans were the most frequently recycled item at 96.4% of the recycling
institutions. Of the other major waste stream components (paper, glass, metals), high-grade office
and computer paper were recycled at 75.0% and 71.4% of the institutions, respectively.
Cardboard was also recycled at 71.4% of the schools. Surprisingly, newspaper was recycled at
60.7% of the institutions placing it as the fourth most frequently recycled item. Also surprising,
motor oil, a technologically difficult item to recycle (Friedman, 1993), was recycled at more than
half (53.6%) of the recycling institutions, while glass and steel cans were only recycled at 50.0%
and 46.4% of the institutions, respectively.
The remaining materials surveyed for recycling success at Indiana institutions are
considered "hard to dispose of' and include (with the percentage of institutions recycling that item
in parentheses): hazardous wastes (46.4%), batteries (42.9%), plastics (32.1 %), tires (25.0%),
white goods or scrap appliances (25.0%), laser printer toner cartridges (21.4%), and construction
debris (10.7%). Also, of note, 32.1 % of the institutions recycled clothing, reusable goods, and
furniture and the majority of institutions (60.7%) practiced composting of their yard wastes.
Only 3 of 28 (10.7%) institutions operated their recycling programs at a profit. The
majority operated at a loss, with a few breaking even. The majority of these programs (19 of 28)
also claimed that avoided disposal costs are not a motivator for their recycling. Only 17 of the 28
recycling institutions were located in communities which recycle.
Twenty-six of the twenty-nine Indiana institutions (90.0%) purchased materials with
recycled content Paper was the most widely procured item with recycled content (24 of 26).
Also, some schools mentioned that they procured items such as plastics, trash containers, sanitary
papers (paper towels, napkins, and toilet paper), and motor oil with recycled content.
The majority of institutions practiced some fonn of source reduction of waste. Reusable
dishes, glasses, and silverware and double-sided copying are the two most popular methods.
Several institutions also minimized the amount of packaging they accepted from manufacturers.
Regarding courses taught concerning hazardous and solid waste management or natural
resource use and development, the majority of universities and colleges (15) did not have such
programs or courses. Five schools had courses on the social and political aspects of hazardous
--
and solid waste management. Six had courses on the scientific and engineering aspects of
-
hazardous and solid waste management. Three had courses on the agricultural aspects of
hazardous and solid waste management and seven had courses on the economic aspects of natural
resource use and development.
The results of the reported research reflected the overall trends discovered by Friedman
(1993). Major waste stream components such as paper, aluminum cans, glass, and steel, were
recycled in a high percentage of the responding institutions. Attempts were also being made to
recycle "hard to dispose of' items. Composting was practiced at a majority of the universities.
Also following Friedman's trends were the tendencies for cooperatively-run recycling programs,
source reduction of waste, and the procurement of materials with a recycled content
DISCUSSION
The results of the present research support the original hypothesis, although it is clear that
other reasons for recycling exist. The major components of the waste stream are recyclable or
compostable (Figure 2) (Griffm, 1992). Recycling has been shown to be more cost-effective than
other disposal methods for aluminum, glass, paper, and cardboard (Griffin, 1992). Indiana
universities tended to recycle these items, which already have a recycling infrastructure and can
prove profitable. This is not surprising, as it is in the school's economic self-interest to gain
money from the recycling of these items rather than to pay for their disposal. Items which are
difficult to dispose of, however, may not have an existing recycling infrastructure or may incur a
cost in their recycling. Yet, many institutions still tended to recycle these items. This caused most
recycling programs to operate at a loss. Why would these institutions continue an activity that is
clearly not within their economic self-interest? The survey reveals it is not for avoided disposal
costs in Indiana's case. Landfill disposal is still relatively inexpensive in the Midwest, as
compared to the East Coast (IRC & IDEM, 1991).
Pressure from the state in the form of laws and mandates is an impetus for recycling. In
Indiana, HEA 1240 sets a waste reduction/recycling goal of 35% by 1996 and 50% by 2000 (IRC
& IDEM, 1991). Universities recycled in an attempt to meet these standards. In 1989 the Indiana
General Assembly enacted a law regulating the disposal and handling of used motor oil (IRC &
IDEM, 1991). This could account for the high percentage of universities recycling motor oil.

Laws and mandates are also a motivation for procurement of items with recycled content Indiana
law states that state agencies must purchase items with 50% recycled content when the price
differential is no more than 10% (IRe & IDEM, 1991). Similar laws exist in all states (Wingerter,
1992). State-sponsored universities must follow this mandate.
It is proposed, however, that universities undertake recycling, source reduction, and
procurement of recycled materials for broader social and environmental reasons, as well. These
learning institutions have a responsibility to act in a manner beneficial to society and to encourage
and educate their students to do the same. Recycling is an environmentally friendly measure which
benefits society and the living environment The impact of the universities' behavior is clearly
beneficial. The recycling of a significant amount of waste occurs. As more items which are
difficult to dispose of are recycled by universities, research and innovations to make their recycling
technologically easier and profitable can take place.
The purchasing of materials with a recycled content ensures a market for recyclables, which
then provides an economic value for the materials. This encourages firms which are more costconscious to recycle. Recycling's biggest problem is a lack of markets (Griffm, 1992). The
American marketplace is driven by a demand for products. By giving preference to recycled goods
through their procurement codes, universities can use their buying power to create an immediate
demand that will expand markets for recycling (Griffin, 1992).
Students which matriculate through these universities grow to see recycling as an easy
effort which will help the environment The universities' public images are improved as their
recycling, waste reduction, and recycled purchases are seen as "environmentally friendly," a
growing concern in our society.
For an institution wishing to take a positive step toward improving its public image,
educating its students, and being environmentally responsible, recycling of solid and hazardous
waste is suggested From the present research and from the research of Friedman (1993), the
following is a compilation of suggestions for a basic university recycling program.
An ideal university program recycles the basics of high and low-grade papers (office paper,
computer paper, newspaper), glass, aluminum, and other metals. They should also attempt to
recycle at least one item which is difficult to dispose of to encourage innovation in recycling
,-
technology. For example, a high number of institutions have begun recycling motor oil from the
-
university fleet of vehicles. A campus-wide attempt at source reduction of waste should be
undertaken. This could include the use of reusable dishes, glasses, and silverware at on-campus
dining facilities and double-sided copying in offices. Also, an attempt should be made to procure
items with some recycled content, the most popular being various forms of paper.
Several of the responding institutions already have such programs. Of note are the
programs at Marion College, Grace College & Seminary, St. Francis College, Goshen College,
and Manchester College. These schools met all of the above requirements in their recycling
programs. Of special note are a few schools which also met all the above requirements and
recycled a wide variety of materials. These include Butler University, Purdue University, Taylor
University, Vincennes University, and Huntington College. The program at St. Meinrad Seminary
deserves special recognition. Each resident is issued a blue recycling container which is picked up
regularly by housekeeping, much like a curbside system. With this system, not only do they
collect a wide variety of recyclables, but they are also able to make a profit on their paper and
aluminum recycling.
-
CONCLUSION
As forerunners of recycling technology and frequently proactive in recycling practices,
learning institutions have the ability and the responsibility to influence the general public in their
attitudes toward recycling. Universities and colleges in Indiana have taken a positive step toward
helping the enviromnent and encouraging the rest of society to do the same.

Dear,
The enclosed questionnaire has been designed to obtain information needed for my honors'
thesis research at Ball State University, Muncie, Indiana. This research will be submitted in partial
fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science in Natural Resources and
Environmental Management
.
-
The environment is of growing importance to everyone. With so many landfill closings in
the recent past, solid waste management in general and recycling in particular have become more
important In light of this, it is important to know what role colleges and universities play with
their unique situations as learning institutions. I have based the questionnaire and my thesis on a
study presented by F. T. Friedman (1993) in Waste Age magazine, "Do we practice what we
teach?" This questionnaire has been mailed to the public relations officers at thirty-three colleges
and universities in Indiana. I plan to create a general profile of the recycling programs of colleges
and universities in Indiana.
This questionnaire may be forwarded within your university to another department that may
have more information regarding the recycling program. Please make sure that someone at your
university takes the time to read and complete the questionnaire and return it in the pre-addres~
stamped envelope by January 10, 1994. Please contact me by phone at (317) 287-1774 if you
have any questions concerning this questionnaire or my study. Thank you for your time and I
appreciate your help.
Sincerely,
Kimberly M. Reynolds
