Funding & Financial Support
The BGSU Recycling Program is funded by these five primary sources:
| Cost Avoidance | |
 |
The University credits the Recycling Program the landfill disposal rate for every ton of recyclable material diverted from the landfill. The revenue generated from avoiding landfill fees pays for the student employees who collect the material. |
| General Fees | |
|
Arrangements with the University allow for $3.00 of every student's general annual fee to aid the recycling program. This pays for the full time recycling coordinator, and general office expenses. |
| Grants | |
|
Funding from the State of Ohio and the Wood County Solid Waste District benefit the recycling Program. Grants cover all capitol equipment expenses, from the five collection vehicles to all the barrels and bins on campus. |
| Sales | |
|
Revenue is generated from selling the material collected on campus to the BG Jaycees' Recycling Center. Sales of the material to the Recycling Center cover employee salaries and general expenses. |
| Pouring Rights | |
|
The contract for campus pouring rights includes money specified for the recycling program. This money pays the salaries of collection employees and helps pay for the recycling bins on campus. |
