Paper Chase!

By the Student Society

Paper Chase has come about as an
answer to a question of fund raising
in relation to financial assistance
to students. As we all know, educa-
tional costs are rising and social
services such as student loans and
grants have been cut or eliminated.
This program is one answer to this
problem. The program will generate
funds which will be added to the
current Douglas College Student
Trust fund, and by this we hope to
increase the amount of bursaries
available to students.

We hope to have this program in full
operation by the third week of
September. Paper Chase needs the
cooperation of everyone. We will be
distributing desk top receptacles

to all administrative personnel,
receptionists/secretaries, and
faculty. This will allow for easy
collection of the recyclable paper.
There will also be larger bin recep-
tacles located in all major areas
around the College, (below you will
find a list of these locations).
This list may increase depending on
the success of the program. The
contents of all desk top receptacles
and larger bin receptacles will be
collected by volunteers. The times
of collection are not set as yet as
we are unsure of how often these
bins will require emptying.

There are three grades of paper we
will be collecting. These are:
computer paper, white and coloured
ledger paper.

Nine tons of waste is taken from
the College every month, and of
this approximately 80% is dry waste,

 

7.2 tons. From this a considerable
amount is a of great value, because
it is recyclable. There will be no
initial expenses. Our estimated
revenue for this year is $5,000.00
