Brandeis University, located in Waltham, is working to elevate sustainability on campus and in the community. From facilitating reuse through their end-of-the year move-out donation program to undertaking efforts to reduce its carbon footprint, to promoting ways to recycle right, Brandeis is proving its commitment to the environment. The University utilizes the Recycle Smart MA signage and outreach materials throughout campus and recognizes the importance of being consistent at work, school, and home.
Mary Fischer, Manager of the University’s Office of Sustainability, runs a weekly training session focused on recycling as part of new employees’ orientation. She includes Recycle Smart images and quizzes participants on what items are recyclable. She also manages the Green Office Certification program which helps faculty and staff “green” their office through waste reduction, composting, and proper recycling.
