Environmental Stewardship Program

The Environmental Stewardship Program provides recycling services to most academic, administrative, and residential buildings on campus. Recycling collections are divided by buildings, most buildings are visited once per week. The largest/busiest buildings are visited twice each week.

The cardboard dumpsters that are located outside of some buildings are collected on a different schedule than the interior locations. They are emptied regularly according to the rate at which they are usually filled.

The deskside collection containers (used by housekeeping staff to collect from offices throughout the week) are collected on Friday mornings.
