One of the oldest community colleges in California, MJC has two main campuses in the city of Modesto and serves more than 18,000 day and evening students each semester.
Located near the city of Sonora in the wooded Sierra Nevada foothills, Columbia College is a primary resource of adult learning for residents throughout the Mother Lode region.
Yosemite Community College District (YCCD) collects all recyclable materials in the marked recycling containers around campus. The recycling process involves a series of activities, including collecting the recyclables, and taking them to the District holding station to be sorted then taken to a local recycling center for processing. These recyclable materials are turned into raw materials such as fibers, and materials to manufacture new products. Recycling helps to keep our campuses clean as well as minimize our carbon footprint.
Types of recycling that take place on the campuses are:
Recycling:
Material Exchange:
Organics Recycling:
Waste Prevention/Reuse:
The Facilities Planning & Operations Department continuously looks for ways to improve recycling efforts by participating in webinars, posting signage and correct labeling of all the recycle bins and locations, reading publications with new ideas for recycling, and attending and participating in environmental fairs.
The District encourages carpooling and zero emissions cars by allocating parking spaces for the individuals that participate in the program.
