Dave Worden, manager of environmental services, says he’s pleased with the effort on everyone’s part. “We continue to improve each week. Our weekly objectives are being met and campus-wide participation has improved by leaps and bounds,” Worden says. He encourages everyone to look for the containers with the green lids throughout campus for cans and bottles. Paper should go in containers with blue lids.
