  3. Why Kibbie Dome Recycling? • The University of Idaho spends $800,000 a year for trash removal. • The Kibbie Dome plays a big part in adding to that large amount of trash. • All the recyclables that we can take from with in the Kibbie can effectively lower this number and move us closer to a zero waste campus.

  4. General Info • Currently the is no consistent recycling effort with in the Kibbie Dome for recycling events • This year a group of student from a Business 378 team implemented a outside recycling effort that has been very successful, we would like to build on this success by moving our efforts inside the Kibbie Dome.

  5. Our Mission • To establish the feasibility of implementing a recycling program at the ASUI Kibbie Dome for inside events.

  6. Critical Success Factors • Implementation of recycling project upon success of trial run • No monetary loss: no additional money being spent by the university • Formation of a feasible plan to recycle in Kibbie • Explore feasibility of expanding recycling to sporting events at other venues on campus. UISC will direct options after implementation.

  7. What We Did? • Collaborated with our sponsor to make the right contacts • Determined the waste stream • What is actually recyclable? • Facilitate storage and removal • What are we going to do with the recyclables • Gain the necessary materials • Bags, bins, gloves, sings and posters, promotion • Run a pilot test

  8. Pre-Pilot Assumptions • Waste Stream: • Estimated 4-5 bag of plastics, less than one bag of cans • 4-6 bins full of plastics • Storage and removal • Collaborate with the tailgating dumpster for removal • We need to transport the recyclables to the parking lot • Materials • 8 bins with Liners and signage, plastic gloves for volunteers, 10+ bags

  9. Pilot Test

  10. What we learned • We underestimated our waste stream • Students were found to be much more recycle conscience than alumni • Gave us great info for number of volunteers needed, total clean up time, and overall effort needed • We found that recycling within the Kibbie Dome is a feasible effective way of reducing waste at the University of Idaho

  11. The Future Plan • We have created an extensive plan of how to recycle inside the Kibbie Dome to be followed in the future. • To move closer towards a zero waste Kibbie Dome we need: • 5 year plan • Running promotions and marketing • Student, faculty and community involvement
