Where Can I Recycle?
At the Central Recycling Depot - Drop off anytime! Located on Lionfish street, past Campus Police, and across the street from the warehouse.
Bins and Receptacles are located in all university buildings and residence halls.
Staffed Hours of Operation: Monday - Friday 7:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.
Purpose: Recycling is a state mandated program to reduce waste and minimize impact on local landfills. But most of all, it is important for all of us to do! To be successful, every faculty, student and staff member needs to join the recycling team, and learn the three R's: Recycle, Re-use, and Reduce!
Recycle Properly: Recycled products are only recoverable when they are sorted properly.

Buy a live Christmas tree, and donate it to a church or school after the holidays
At home, compost or recycle yard waste
