| Rapidly increasing world population
results in a considerable increase in the consumption of scarce resources. This threat, on
the coming generations, makes the societies consider the feasible ways to make use of
wastes in terms of energy, money and time. The concept of recycling of wastes as
alternative resources is important not only because of its economical benefits but also
for the sake of our world's health. Highly developed countries consider this fact in a
sensitive manner. Turkey, as a currently developing country, should consider the process
of recycling seriously. Being candidates of engineers we thought to handle this problem,
beginning from the closest territory, Bilkent University's Main Campus. The main purpose
is to establish a recycling system which includes recycling of papers, plastics, and cans
in the area of dormitories, library, some cafeterias around the campus. We believe that
this establishment will bring lots of benefits not only to environment but also to social
sensitivity of students. The main purpose is to establish a

At the first stage of the project, our focus is on paper. The reason
behind this is the fact that paper is widely used in Bilkent Area. Don't forget that every
recycled piece of paper saves a tree somewhere around the world.
