Established in 1976, CU Recycling is one of the oldest campus recycling programs
in the country. The National Recycling Coalition recognized CU’s
cost-effective diversion of recyclables, promotion of recycling and resource
conservation benefits, and opportunities for meaningful individual involvement
with its first “Outstanding School Program” award in 1995.
CU
Recycling operates as a partnership between students (University
of Colorado Student Union) and the administration (Facilities
Management). The UCSU
Environmental Center conducts procedural training and promotions,
processes collected recyclables, and oversees contracts for marketing
of recyclables. Facilities Management collects from and
provides recycling containers in campus buildings; the Department
of Housing provides for infrastructure and assists with outreach
in the halls. Students learn the recycling business through volunteer
work, work-study employment, or while earning academic credit.
