As one of the largest waste procurers on campus, the Residence Life & Housing team seeks to bring sustainable practices to the norm of life on campus. This page overviews practices you can take on as a resident on campus and policies that seek to enforce the need for sustainable living on campus.
Recycling in Residences
At Bard, our recycling and trash are taken from over 150 buildings on campus to the Recycling Plant. At the Recycling Plant, trash and recycling is organized and sent out to refuse agencies.
Bicycles on Campus
A roughly estimated 15% of the student body has a bicycle. Students who live on campus typically park their bikes in front of the residence hall they live in. Bicycles should be secured with standard bike locks. Bikes left outside should be locked and secured on a bike rack. Do not secure bikes to trees, lamp posts, fences or any other similar structure. Bikes may not be stored in hallways as they impede egress and cause a fire safety hazard.
