Savannah State University News October 2019 SSU, City of Savannah, Chatham County team up for recycling event Savannah State University's (SSU) campus will host a recycling event in conjunction with the City of Savannah and Chatham County governments on Wednesday, Oct. 30, 9 a.m. - 2 p.m. The campus effort is being led by the SSU Environmental Science Club. The annual event is an opportunity for SSU and the Savannah community to come together around the idea of using resources in a more sustainable manner. "Every day we use and send to the landfill materials that could be recycled or repurposed," Sue Ebanks, Ph.D., associate professor of marine and environmental sciences said. "Cooking oil can be repurposed and processed for use as fuels for energy production, cosmetics and soaps. Paper, cardboard, plastics and other materials can also be recycled." The public is invited to bring recyclable items for collection to the T.A. Wright Stadium parking lot. Acceptable items include: * Plastics (e.g., beverage bottles, peanut butter containers, milk jugs, butter tubs, dry cleaning and shopping bags, medicine bottles) * Polystyrene (e.g., meat trays, egg cartons, CD cases) * Aluminum, tin or steel cans * Paper, newspaper, magazines, junk mail * Dry cardboard, broken-down boxes * Used cooking grease Items that cannot be recycled include plastic foam, glass, clothing, bedding, furniture, electronics, paint cans and aluminum foil. The campus community will also have the ability to bring recyclable items to a location in front of Tiger Arena. SANDRA M.
