Campus Recycling

A uniform recycling program has been established across all campuses for construction debris. During move-out, students donate goods, clothes, and furnishings, with almost two tons of items repurposed or recycled.

• Toner cartridges at the print shop and for individual users; printers provided by cartridge manufactures' envelope such as HP
• Construction debris and materials (as part of LEED projects)
• Used furniture through local charities
