Sudbury college has also installed a SicSox textile waste recycling bin

Cambrian College has introduced technology to help lower the college’s carbon footprint.

The college has installed the OscarSort trash sorting system, to increase the amount of material that goes into the blue and green bins.

OscarSort scans your disposable items and then tells you where it goes, eliminating any guesswork.

The machine also talks, encouraging users to keep diverting waste from landfills. The goal is to increase the number of items that go into recycling and composting, as opposed to trash.

At the other end of the cafeteria, the college has also installed two bins from the company, SicSox Circular. The bins collect old textiles before they find their way to the garbage and eventually a local landfill.
