Nathan Chandler

Recycling Processor

Nathan Chandler (he/him) is a sophomore at Endicott. Nate is a business marketing major and lives in Wells, Maine. He joined the Sustainable Endicott team in 2021 as a Recycling Processor. Nate has a passion for biology and has incorporated this passion with protecting the environment by working with the Sustainable Endicott team. Nate has also spent lots of time working for the Maine Audubon Society, which works intensively to both protect and conserve the environment. At the Audubon Society, Nate conducted many biological and ecological surveys monitoring the health of the Scarborough marsh, and headed a large-scale project to create a 300 ft. boardwalk that outlined a nature trail open to the public and instrumental to conducting research. His responsibilities as the project coordinator included creating a fundraiser, forming a working group, and both designing, and constructing, the boardwalk. Part of Nate’s job at the Audubon also included educating groups of kids from varying ages on the importance of the marsh as well as the animals that live there. Much of the work he does for Sustainable Endicott includes servicing e-waste and other specialty recycling streams around campus, monitoring recycling contamination along with campus waste infrastructure mapping. Nate hopes to help Sustainable Endicott accomplish our goals this year in any way he can!
