Recycling at Colorado State began a few decades ago, but has made tremendous progress since
receiving a grant in 1990. The waste collection and disposal processes were overhauled to allow for
efficient collection and recycling bins can now be found nearly everywhere on campus. (Colorado State
University, 2012). Reuse and Recycle containers are usually found in almost all buildings on campus, thus
determined by the demands of the building users, these containers include that of newspaper/Magazines,
paperboard/cardboard office papers and phone book, cans, bottles and plastic containers to mention but a
few. 3R s awareness will be a good incentive to cater for this waste. Phillips et-al (1999) Highlight that, a
central focus of a waste strategy guided by the need for sustainable development is not just how to dispose
of the waste that is produced or even how to recycle it but also how best to reduce the amount that is
created in the first place
