Collegetown Streets: Trash and Recycling Cans
Target:
1000
Sponsored by:
The Collegetown Waste Reduction Group is a project started by students in the Sustainability Hub, a student organization dedicated to providing individual students and organizations with information about campus sustainability, reducing Cornell's environmental impact, and uniting other campus organizations to collaborate on different projects.
Our project involves increasing the number of locations of trash and recycling receptacles on the streets of Collegetown and increasing pickup times of these waste receptacles to accommodate days that generate higher volumes of trash. The final component of our project involves inspiring students and residents to care for their urban environment with urban art displayed on the waste receptacles and educating residents through pamphlets and posters on proper trash and recycling disposal.
Our group has presented our project at the Collegetown Neighborhood Council and received unanimous support. The project will now be presented to the Board of Public Works and the Public Art Commission for official approval by the City of Ithaca. Please sign the petition letter below to show your support of our project to the Board of Public Works and Public Art Commission.
To the Board of Public Works and the Public Art Commission,
As members of the Collegetown community, we see daily the overflowing trash cans and extensive litter strewn across our streets. This visible waste seriously detracts for the standard of living and work environment of our neighborhood. In addition, we are troubled by the large volume of recyclable materials sent from our neighborhood to landfills or incinerators. With these concerns in mind, we would like to see you take the following actions:
1) Increase the number of public trash and recycling receptacles in Collegetown
2) Add pickups for both trash and recycling (with reconsideration of the pickup days to reflect the times of week when most of the trash is generated)
3) Grant permission for the decoration of the waste receptacles
We hope that you will take the above actions to help us improve the quality of life in our neighborhood.

Collegetown is really dirty, it would be a much nicer place if all the trash was cleaned up.
