If you live on campus and would like to get involved with recycling, we have the perfect volunteer job for you! One of the positions of your Hall Council is the Eco Rep. The Eco Rep encourages students within the Residence halls to Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. This is not only a wonderful way to improve the environment in a 'grass-roots' fashion, but also give you an opportunity to meet more people in your residence hall. It also looks good on a resume.

To become an Eco Rep, simply ask your R.A. or R.D. about becoming a part of Hall Council. When you become an Eco Rep, simply email the current educator. You will then get to know other campus Eco Reps and will have lots of opportunities to make an impact on Western's campus.
