By installing 2,753 new, standardized bins, the team is addressing the inconsistency that has historically hindered effective waste diversion. The project implements a uniform system of colors, sizes, and signage\u2014proven successful in a 2014 pilot\u2014to make recycling intuitive for every student, faculty member, and visitor. Beyond just placing bins, this initiative is a visible commitment to campus sustainability, designed to reduce contamination and prepare the university for advanced waste reduction sensors and programs.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<!-- shortcode-column -->\n<div class=\"shortcode-column shortcode-column--count-2\">\n    \n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-tall-banner-image wp-image-3266\" src=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/136\/2023\/03\/6321_General_Maintenance_20210723-1-600x384.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"384\" \/><\/p>\n<h5>Project Lead:<\/h5>\n<p><span data-sheets-root=\"1\">Natalie Pierson<\/span><\/p>\n<h5>Project Advisor:<\/h5>\n<p><span data-sheets-root=\"1\">Abraham Henn<\/span><\/p>\n<h5>Date:<\/h5>\n<p><span data-sheets-root=\"1\">10\/28\/2022<\/span><\/p>\n<h5>Funding Amount:<\/h5>\n<p><span data-sheets-root=\"1\">$175,000<\/span><\/p>\n<h5>Department:<\/h5>\n<p><span data-sheets-root=\"1\">Facility Services<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/136\/2026\/02\/Indoor-Recycling-Improvement-Proposal.pdf\">Supporting Documents<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/136\/2026\/02\/2022-Recycling-and-Waste-Bin-Proposal.docx.pdf\">Supporting Documents<\/a><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2198,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","ring_central_script_selection":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-5379","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/green-nau\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5379","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/green-nau\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/green-nau\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/green-nau\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2198"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/green-nau\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5379"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/green-nau\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5379\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5405,"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/green-nau\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5379\/revisions\/5405"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/green-nau\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5379"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
