Abstract

In choosing this topic, research was conducted to determine what students know about recycling, how they participate in recycling on campus and see how the recycling programs on the campus of Eastern Illinois University (EIU) has been beneficial to the institution, and to the campus community as it attests to helping develop students as global citizenship. Recycling on the Eastern Illinois University's campus generally takes place in two distinct areas: residence halls and academic buildings. Each of these areas presents a unique challenge for the recycling coordinator, in terms of materials readily available, the collection method, and the level of active recycling by the buildings inhabitants. This particular study examines the knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs of the students currently residing in university housing units.
