The E-Cycler Expansion Project seeks to improve recycling rates, reduce waste contamination and support the university’s waste reduction goals. It calls for the purchase of eight Max-R brand E-Cycler bins, in which students, faculty and staff can deposit universal waste items like batteries and electronic devices. Cal Poly Humboldt’s new Zero Waste Action Plan (ZWAP) identifies the need to expand consumer electronics recycling to meet the increasing amount of e-waste generated on campus by adding additional collection bins.

The Shared Path Symbol Project calls for identifying the LK Wood sidewalk between Granite Avenue and 14th Street as a shared path for pedestrians, bicyclists and other non-motorized forms of micro mobility. This will be done by painting up to seven shared path symbols and attaching two metal signs on existing signposts at strategic locations along this double wide sidewalk. Expected outcomes include the increased use of bicycles and other forms of micro mobility, improved safety for commuters, and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. Project cost is estimated at $4,000. 

This project proposal seeks to take a radical approach to landscaping by establishing guiding principles that challenge human-centric relationships with the “landscape”. The selected preliminary sites for this project were regions that have been proven difficult to maintain as lawns, making them ideal for this conversion. These areas are difficult to access with equipment, have smaller/more irregular shaped lawns, and where leisure would not be preferred (damp and shady).
