Description:
Resource Recovery is a department within UT Facilities Services that encompasses both Zero Waste and Surplus Properties. Resource Recovery is tasked with improving sustainability at UT, specifically with regards to reaching our Zero Waste goal to divert 90% of all materials from the landfill. Major diversion strategies include source reduction, reuse, recycling, and composting. As a result, we have the opportunity to partner and observe material processes across campus.
This summer, we are looking for six students to assist with the rollout of new waste signage across campus as part of a Green Fund grant project.

We expect to have set hours on two days per week based on students’ schedules, and will provide guidance for which buildings to focus on each day. Students will participate in a weekly project meeting and onboarding via Zoom, and remaining hours will be done on-campus. Resource Recovery takes the safety of our students very seriously and abides by all COVID protocols, including capacity limits, face masks, and sanitization practices.
As a result of this experience, you will:
  • Have a greater knowledge of waste diversion at UT (e.g. recycling, compost)
  • Enhance collaboration skills with other team members
  • Explore buildings on campus that you may not have entered otherwise
Qualifications:
  • Interest and/or experience in sustainability and willingness to learn about the inner workings of waste diversion
  • Ability to maintain professionalism and represent the department well when communicating with faculty, staff, and students
  • Timely and effective communicator
  • Punctual
