How Do You Start A Campus Textbook Recycling Program?
Organizing a campus textbook recycling program can be a great way to work for a good cause while also achieving organizational goals. The best way to recycle students’ textbooks is to get them into the hands of other students who will need them for a new semester’s work. An effective textbook recycling program can serve as a broker or clearinghouse between present and future textbook owners. Contact the dean’s office or other appropriate campus administrator before you start to obtain any necessary authorization for operating your program on campus. Commit your student organization (such as a sorority, fraternity or academic club) or a group of interested volunteers to the goal of organizing a campus textbook recycling program. Start by making sure that everyone agrees on the mission and is willing to dedicate enough time to make the project successful. You may want to time your efforts to correspond with Greek Week or Carnival if it falls at the end of a semester. Prepare for operatio
