Several postsecondary institutions across the country have unveiled new recycling programs to support a greener future. Collège Ahuntsic has installed new waste sorting islands on campus that offer separate chutes for waste, compost, returnable containers, recycling, and paper. Brock University has set up specialized bins to properly dispose of coffee cups; the units have different compartments for the cups, lids, and any remaining liquid. Cape Breton University has partnered with the Electronic Products Recycling Association to provide public-facing electronic product recycling bins on campus. Meanwhile, the University of Guelph has introduced the Oscar Sort initiative: an AI technology-based unit that scans items in real-time and instructs users how to correctly sort their trash.
