"Whereas, the University of Colorado Boulder is committed to a zero-waste campus by 2025... and whereas, CU should strive for bin parity while also supporting recycling initiatives..."

Resolution Summary

This resolution calls on the Environmental Center, Recycling Operations Center, and Facilities Management to pursue "bin parity"—ensuring every trash bin is accompanied by recycling options.

• Campus-wide Audit: A comprehensive review of all waste bin locations.
• Classroom Consolidation: Removing individual trash bins from small classrooms to encourage central collection.
• Hallway Parity: Adding or removing bins in common areas to ensure equal access to recycling and trash disposal.
• Updated Signage: Ensuring all disposal areas have clear, up-to-date instructions consistent with Environmental Center standards.
