The group, organized by Phi Theta Kappa President Amanda Even to meet requirements for both the Honor Society and the class, divided the trash into four categories: cigarette butts, aluminum cans, other recyclables, and non-recyclable garbage. “Most of it [the trash] was recyclable,” Even says.

“What really meant a lot to me was realizing how much the students care about the community and the campus," Even continues. "One can’t survive without the other.”
