The state-certified recycling center at Cal State Long Beach may be getting a facelift in the near future.
The center, located west of the Walter Pyramid in Lot 14, has been operating since 1970, but lacks infrastructure.
"We have no running water or sewer," said Lee Johnson, recycling coordinator. "It's probably due to the remoteness of the location."
On top of no running water, the facility uses a 24-by-9-foot trailer for its offices and break room, shared by 14 people.
The buy-back booth also lacks an established foundation, with a blue tarp covering a wooden frame.
"We want something more permanent," Johnson said.
Johnson met with Physical Planning and Facilities Management on campus to discuss possible costs to renovate the center. Based upon the estimated cost of the project, Johnson will make a report to Associated Students Inc. about possible facilities.
"It's been like this for years, but it's not a work environment for everyone," Johnson said. "But I've got a great crew of students out here."
