ISU started using a single-stream recycling system in 2011, making it possible for students and staff to put all recycla- bles in one container. The material is sent to Midwest Fiber in Normal, where it is sorted through. However, the system is separate from the Town of Normal’s recycling program, which offers drop-off box locations across the town. The town only offers curbside recycling to residents in single family and duplex homes, which means students living in apartments must rely on the drop-off boxes. Young America Realty Property Manager Randy Paulissen said one of the reasons the company does not offer recycling services is because it would be too expensive. “We’d love to have individual recycling bins at every single apartment complex. Unfortunately, it just isn’t feasible from a cost-effectiveness standpoint and a user standpoint,” Paulis- sen said. “Much like anything, it works only if people use it. We would love to be way more active, but the problem is, how do you do it, offer the service to the tenants, and get the town to come by and do pickup? The town doesn’t have the resources, and so we’d have to reach out and hire third party, and that’s where the cost-effectiveness on this gets out of control.” Paulissen also said if the company was to invest in recycling, the services would be similar to Normal’s drop-off system because of the lack of space. “It’s not at convenience to the tenants, because it would be like, one spot on one street. We have a contract with a trash company that comes once or twice a week, but from there, there’s a lot of different opportunities, like bulk recycling or sorted recycling, and it’s hard because we run out of space on-site,” he said. “The dumpster takes up parking spots to begin with, and if we were to utilize recycling bins, that eats up other people’s parking and it’s hard to get it into every single building.” Kelly McNamara | Vidette Photo Editor While the Town of Normal does not have the resources to With December in its early stages, snow covered Illinois State University and the surrounding areas Sunday.

Whether observing Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa or other holidays, many look at the winter months as a time to be with family and to celebrate the end of the year. Some choose to cozy up during the snowy days and enjoy classic holiday movies like “It’s a Wonderful Life,” “Elf,” “Eight Crazy Nights” or “Home Alone” adorned in fuzzy socks while sipping on some eggnog. Others are more inclined to enjoy the cold weather festivities outdoors by ice skating in the city, having snowball fights or going to the lo- cal tree farm to pick out a Christmas tree.
