Scratch Paper Bins

A simple approach to encouraging re-use or less waste of paper was to add scratch paper collection systems at printer stations in the computer labs on campus. Following the lead of one and only single scratch paper bin in the Learning Center, students from the class created new bins for Paper Chase.

David Castro created a label design, fitted with the Paper Chase logo for the baskets, and the Paper Chase students assembled the bins and labels together as a group activity. Over 20 bins in new locations around the school. Within minutes, the bins were being used for their intended purpose, and still remain in place today.
