Custodians will put about 1,400 pounds of cardboard through the baler a day. The material will then be sold to an independent contractor for recycling.<\/p>\n<p>From the Campus Store to Sodexo, \u201ca large volume of cardboard goes through the University,\u201d said Tom Saint-Ivany, Associate Vice-President of Facilities Management. \u201cThis allows the University to manage its disposal of cardboard and generate revenue.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The baler arrived last month. Each bale weighs about 700 pounds. When the <a href=\"http:\/\/brocku.ca\/cairns-health-bioscience\/\" target=\"_blank\">Cairns Family Health and Bioscience Research Complex<\/a> opens, Brock will produce about two bales a day, said Domenic Maniccia, director of Custodial Services.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brock generates more than 358,000 kilograms of cardboard every year, and now there\u2019s a more efficient way to get rid of it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":14220,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[3,1],"tags":[53],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14219"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14219"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14219\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14284,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14219\/revisions\/14284"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14220"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14219"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14219"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14219"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
