Facts about recycling
Nearly 40% of the campus waste stream is recyclable paper; other recyclables like aluminum, plastic, and glass make up 1%. The U of U is focusing on paper to reduce the total campus waste generated.
Over the summer we distributed over 5,500 personal recycling bins, 1,700 classroom and laboratory bins, and 400 curbside totes throughout campus.
Now we are relying on you to recycle your paper correctly and ensure the Program's success.
