Recycling

Recycling is one of the easiest, and most apparent, of many sustainable acts in our campus community. From paper to plastics to aluminum, we all handle many recyclable products every day. It only takes one second to decide to recycle these items as opposed to placing them in a container destined for the landfill. As part of our common, Christian commitment to care for God's creation, we hope that you will choose to recycle every time you deal with recyclable materials. Read on for information about what can be recycled, where to recycle, and some information about the value of recycling for our community and the broader environment.

We may recycle any of these materials in any recycling container or dumpster across campus:

• White paper
• Cardboard
• Colored paper of all weights and types
• Empty aluminum cans and other aluminum items
• Empty plastic bottles and other plastics graded #1-#7

In an effort to expand our recycling efforts, the university now offers glass recycling in select locations.

How Can We Help?

Volunteer! We have two major recycling volunteer initiatives:

• Football and Move In
  We recruit volunteers to help us recycle during the pregame tailgating portion of all home football games. We also use lots of volunteers during our two day Move In program and can always use more.
