A group of environmentally-conscious students have organized to promote recycling in the dorms. Eco-Reps — a collaborative effort between UNM Recycling, Residence Life and Student Housing and a service learning class — is a group of students who want more recycling opportunities on campus, said Elyse Jalbert, the group’s president. “Eco-Reps are elected student leaders who basically encourage sustainable living and recycling in the dorm,” Jalbert said. Since 2004, UNM Recycling has attempted to install permanent recycling bins near the residence halls — including a 30-yard bin between lower Johnson and Santa Ana residence halls — but they have been placed sporadically and are removed without notice, said Linda McCormick, president of UNM Recycling. McCormick said the bins were moved to south campus and there are no plans to return them closer to the dorms. “They were moved out of there for a variety of reasons and they are now located on the south side of the Pit,” McCormick said. There are several cardboard recycling bins near the dorms, and McCormick said students should use them until more substantial bins are provided. “The ones that I put near the dorms — they can put bottles and cans in a bin and they can also put cardboard or paper or anything else in the other bins,” McCormick said.
