<br>
At yesterday’s quarterly FMS facilities meeting, there was good discussion
about Carnegie Mellon’s “Green Practices” initiative and
recycling program, as well as some other facility related topics that apply to <st1:Street
w:st="on"><st1:address w:st="on">Penn Ave.</st1:address></st1:Street> Here’s
a recap of the topics discussed.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b><font size=3 color=black face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black;font-weight:bold'>RECYCLING:</span></font></b><font
color=black><span style='color:black'> <br>
<br>
Specifically, the hot topic focused on the amount of recycling vs. trash that
the university removes from our buildings each day. Only 15% of the total
trash pick up on our campus is in recycling cans and goes to a recycling
center. Meaning, 85% of everything ‘thrown away’ is put into a
trash can. Much of this waste could have been recycled. So why wasn’t
it? This discussion was more about bringing more awareness to the campus
community, to hopefully make people think a little more about what they’re
throwing away, why they’re throwing it away, and if/when it could have
been put into a recycling can but wasn’t.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 color=black face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'>The general consensus was that a lot of
people were just unsure about what they could recycle, and what they couldn’t.
When people hesitate and just aren’t sure, they simply throw it away. A
simple solution is to post a sign near the recycling cans that gives a quick
recap of what you can and cannot recycle. I’ve created a sign to post
above the kitchen recycling can (glass, plastic and metal) as well as a sign
that will be posted above the paper recycling can (in the copy cubicle). <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>Other than the typical paper, glass, metal, plastic, aluminum…CMU
recycles many other things. To find out more about what can be recycled on
campus, click on the link below<br>

<p class=MsoNormal><b><font size=3 color=black face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black;font-weight:bold'>ISS SPECIAL CLEANING
REQUEST:</span></font></b><font color=black><span style='color:black'><br>
<br>
For any special custodial requests, a work order should be submitted online
(through the FMS website <a href="http://www.cmu.edu/fms/">http://www.cmu.edu/fms/</a>)
A charge for the service ‘could’ be assessed, depending on the
frequency and type of request. Most requests will be completed without an
additional charge. For questions, please contact me directly and I can work
with ISS to ensure your request can be completed and verify any possible costs
that may be assessed. I am happy to submit all FMS / ISS work orders, on
behalf of any staff at <st1:Street w:st="on"><st1:address w:st="on">Penn Ave.</st1:address></st1:Street>
Just email me your detailed request including location, when request should be
completed, contact info, etc. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b><font size=3 color=black face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black;font-weight:bold'>BIKE RACKS:</span></font></b><font
color=black><span style='color:black'><br>
<br>
FMS is stepping up their effort this year to add more bike racks on campus. I
have mentioned that <st1:Street w:st="on"><st1:address w:st="on">Penn Ave</st1:address></st1:Street>
could definitely benefit from having a bike rack installed somewhere in our
parking lot area. Kyle Tomer, from FMS, will be stopping by <st1:Street w:st="on"><st1:address
w:st="on">Penn Ave</st1:address></st1:Street> next week to take a look around
and see if there are any good locations that a bike rack may be installed. If
a location is determined, we may have a bike rack installed this Spring/Summer.
This would be a courtesy of FMS, no charge to the departments/building.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

ISSUES:</span></font></b><font color=black><span style='color:black'><br>
<br>
If anyone has constructive feedback that would be beneficial for me to share
with FMS at these quarterly meetings, please send your thoughts to me via email.
Any urgent issues should be immediately brought to the attention of FMS or to
myself. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
