A warm welcome to everyone at Clark!

Whether returning for another semester or embarking on a new chapter, we could all use a refresher on how to minimize our impact (especially as we all settle into our new places). Here at Clark we have several ways everyone can get involved and minimize their impact. Shop at the Community Thrift Store on Main Street for stellar back-to-school finds at a fraction of the cost! Check their Facebook page to find coupons, sales, and special offers throughout the year.

Looking to reduce your trash? Clark recycles… A LOT! We can recycle ALL paper and cardboard, ALL plastics, metals, and glass, and e-waste like batteries and electronics. If you can, please wash off your plastics and glass before, but we can still recycle the material even if you don’t.

We can’t recycle wet/greasy papers, plastic film, chip bags, candy wrappers, and food…but we can COMPOST them! Composting bins can be found on campus in the AC and the UC and are clearly labeled. Click here for our Composting Guidelines.

The rest? Recycle it! Click here for our Recycling Guidelines

Looking for other ways to save energy and go green while on campus and at home? Use these guides to get started! Every little bit counts.
