Campus recycling center mUI take about anything
By Douglas Stolhand
THE COLLEGIAN „
ii •
' With all the national atten¬
tion focused on smoking bans
and Whitewater, recycling has
been left behind and forgotten
by the, American public..
Thankfully, not everyone has
forgotten about recycling, and
there are still those who do their
daily good deed to help saVe
the earth. In fact, a whole group
of people exist right here on
^campus who are doing more
than their share without fund¬
ing from outside sources.
The Fresno State recycling
center, located on Barstow and
Maple, is run by track coach
Oene "Red*' Estes and a group
of volunteers. As of three years
ago, it was the only campus-
related recycling center in Cali¬
fornia run without grants or
funding. The center's main
concern is the amount of gar¬
bage students and faculty throw
away each day. ,i
"The faculty is starting to
come around and most of them
help out, but the students,
they're impossible," says
Estes. "We used* to put con¬
tainers in the Free Speech Area
marked 'aluminum cans only*
and we'd get everything from
Twinkie wrappers to banana
peels.**
The center was originally
opened by the Fresno State.
Ecology Club in 1980. After a
few months, however, the stu¬
dents lost interest aad quit re¬
cycling the gootiibrought to
them. A few mon thsl ater, Estes
responded to an ad' in THE
COLLEGIAN and has been run¬
ning it ever since.
Since then, the tonnage re¬
cycled by the center has in¬
creased every year. Last year,
the center recycled about
900,000 pounds of materials,
and this year they expect to
break 1.000.000. The center is
run by not only Estes, but also
by a group of volunteers. Since
Estes is a track coach, he en¬
courages members of the track
team to donate their time to
help out.
The center recycles just
about everything. Glass of all
colors, aluminumcans, plastics,
newspapers, phone books, com¬
puter paper, cardboard, white
paper, colored paper, pallets
and laser-printer cartridges are
some of the 14 types of
recyclables accepted by the
2

Located just east of Maple on
recyclabM 24 hours a day.
"Just bring the things down
to the receptacles at Barstow
and Maple and we will take care
of the rest," Estes said. "How¬
ever, we do ask that you sepa-
Rfchard NtowvTh* CoSogian
the campus serf-service recycling center la ready for your
rate the materials you bring
according to the posted signs."
The question most people ask
about recycling centers is where
all the money goes. "Actually,
once we pay for labor and haul¬
ing charges as well as rentals,
there isn't much money left,"
said Estes. "If there is any left,
it goes to help upkeep the cen¬
ter, and any extra after that goes
to the track tcain." ,. ._ _
