1. Place your order on the Zero Waste Committee Shop at least two weeks before your event.
2. Wait to get an email from zerowaste@as.ucsb.edu to confirm your order.
3. Fill out an AS Requisition Form marked “Journal Entry” made out to Zero Waste Committee with your organization’s AS account number and date of funding approval, and have two authorized signers sign it.
AS Account Number:
Separate from OSL Account Number. Your AS Account has funds from AS groups that you requested, while your OSL account has funds that you deposited through the AS Ticket Office.
Any group with an OSL Account Number is able to create an AS Account by visiting the AS Admin Office anytime from 9am-5pm M-Friday. Any UCSB affiliated entity (department, club, etc.) can create an OSL Account by visiting the OSL Office in the SRB.
Requisition Form:
You should allocate the appropriate time to fill out the form by gathering the signatures beforehand. We are unable to fulfill your request for compostable ware if you do not fill out the form correctly. If you do not know what a requisition form is, you can learn how to fill it out here.
Make sure to verify your authorized signers before requesting compostable ware.All authorized signers must have gone through an authorized signers workshop by AS Finance and Business.
3. Turn in the requisition form with your ZWC order receipt and meeting minutes to requisitions@as.ucsb.edu and CC kateeg@as.ucsb.edu, annex@as.ucsb.edu, and zerowaste@as.ucsb.edu. After you turn in your requisition, go to the Annex and show them your completed requisition to collect your items. There is also an event service option to have your compostable ware delivered by AS Recycling. Bring your own bags or box to carry the items.
4. If ordering A.S. Recycling Services, you will need to submit an additional Requisition Form to the A.S. Administration Office for the service(s) requested once you receive a quote via e-mail. E-mail a copy to asrecycling@as.ucsb.edu (photo or scanned document).
This is a sample of a completed Requisition Form requested from A.S. Recycling.
Compostable products MUST be disposed of in a compost bin, not a recycling or landfill bin. A.S. Recycling offers an event service for compost, recycling, and trash bins. Contact A.S. Recycling for any questions about disposal at asrecycling@as.ucsb.edu.
Please place event service requests to A.S. Recycling at least 2 weeks prior to the scheduled event, to allow time for planning and preparation of waste service(s). There is a ‘Rush Fee’ charged by A.S. Recycling for event service requests received less than 14 days prior to an event.
