The Environmental Leadership Council at CoxHealth has announced the kickoff of plastic and aluminum recycling throughout the system with the distribution of dozens of recycling containers for use in departments and on patient floors.
CoxHealth’s Green Team champions will be in charge of placing the bins in their departments and emptying the containers on a regular basis.
Champions will be emptying the containers into outside receptacles managed by WCA Waste Corporation. The receptacles are located at:
Cox South: Near the trash compactor, south of the main hospital, between Engineering and the new ED construction site
Cox North: In the compactor area by the loading dock in the building’s central core; adjacent to the ER entrance.
Cox Walnut Lawn: In the compactor area on the northwest corner of Walnut Lawn.
Hulston Cancer Center: Driveway at the southeast corner of the building. This location also serves Wheeler Heart and Vascular Center.
Ferrell-Duncan Clinic: Northeast corner of the Primrose lot, just east of the construction trailers.
The exterior receptacles will be in place on Monday, March 8.
The project includes a total of 180 recycling bins that will be distributed to departments via the Green Team Champions. To receive a bin, a department must identify a Green Team champion. If your department doesn’t have a champion yet and you’d like to volunteer, feel free to contact the council by e-mailing Keith Roe at Keith.Roe@coxhealth.com.
In addition to aluminum and plastic, CoxHealth is currently recycling cardboard, paper, metal, and batteries from throughout the system.
