CURRENT RECYCLING RATE

Help us meet our goal

29%

This was our latest recycling rate under single-stream recycling. Monthly recycling rates will be posted here as we receive them. Our goal is to recycle 30% of our waste by July 2011. Before single-stream recycling the university recycled approximately 19% of our waste.

All acceptable recyclables can be placed in any of the recycling bins – no sorting needed – including the small blue recycling bins in classrooms and offices. And we’re recycling more items than ever before. A new PDF is available as an easy reference guide on what can be recycled and how.
