Portland Int'l Airport Field Trip with PSU Recyles! |
|
Written by Sam Cravens, Student Recycler

On Thursday, Feb 5th, 2009, the PSU Recycles! Crew had a chance to observe the recycling practices at PDX, Portland International Airport. The crew and its leader, Christel Eichner, were escorted around the airport, taking a look at the new and innovative ideas that are being implemented. We came out of the experience with some interesting factoids and new insights on how to run the recycling program here at PSU. In the past we have had some trouble with contamination problems; contamination can range from trash in the recycling to liquid drenched recyclables. We, as a crew, have had many meetings regarding this problem and have yet found a viable solution.
