RENOWNED RECYCLERS: The Washington State Recycling Association has selected the UW Department of Housing and Food Services (HFS) as the winner of the 2008 Washington State Recycler of the Year award in the category Institution of Higher Learning.
HFS says the recognition is the result of a lot of hard work by its staff and by students, including members of Students Expressing Environmental Dedication (SEED), a UW residence hall environmental group. They add that success has also depended on customers — students, faculty and staff — who are willing to follow HFS recycling and composting suggestions.
HFS will receive the award at the 28th Annual Washington State Recycling Conference and Trade Show, May 18–21.
