 | The Sustainability Committee launched the College-wide collection for Terracycle in March 2009. Since then we have collected thousands of items, and prevented them from ending up in a landfill. We are asking for everyone's help in collecting items from the list below. As Terracycle continues to grow the list of items increases. Recently M&M Mars products have been added to the list.
Below you will find a list of current collection sites. If you would like to be added to the list or if you need a collection container, e-mail Jarrod Hersh. Please send in items regularly by pony to Sue Hawk-Finn Student Life WHC or Jarrod Hersh Student Financial Services WHC. We have found that items left out for a period of time are disposed by the custodial staff. Broward College is committed to promote sustainable practices.
