Elizabeth HellmannUK Recycling is excited to announce a new addition to our website, the Waste Wizard! With this new tool, learning about what is recyclable at UK is quicker and easier than ever before. The Waste Wizard functions as a search engine which allows users to type in words like “plastic bottle”, “Styrofoam cup”, or any other material they are curious about how to properly dispose of it.
How it works: type in an item or material and learn if the item is recyclable
Knowing what to recycle can be tricky sometimes, and since UK accepts different recyclables than other cities or campuses, the Waste Wizard offers guidance on how to properly dispose of various materials. Simply type in an item or material and see results on how it should be discarded. UK has a goal of becoming zero-waste by 2030, meaning by that year 90% of all discarded waste will be diverted from the landfill. The Waste Wizard supports UK’s zero-waste goal by encouraging recycling, increasing campus diversion rates.
The Waste Wizard works on all devices, so it is mobile-friendly! In addition to English, this tool is available in Spanish, French, Chinese, Portuguese, and German among many others via Google Translate. Try out the Waste Wizard today, and don’t forget to bookmark the page for easy access!
