Tour of the Recycling Operations Center (ROC)
Built in the summer of 2015, the Recycling Operations Center (ROC) is an intermediate step in the recycling process between the campus buildings at the University of Colorado and the end markets for recycling.
- Learn the intricacies of the recycling industry, from upstream purchasing strategy to campus recycling operations to downstream end markets.
- See how students make a difference with their "spare" time as they work (and get paid for their time) around their busy class schedules
- Ask questions about those tricky and hard to recycle items and see how they are handled on campus at CU!

Green Office Program
CU Boulder is pleased to offer a campus sustainability program for faculty and staff. The educational program integrates many of CU’s campus sustainability initiatives, including transportation, purchasing, recycling, and energy.
The program has environmental and financial impacts, with very little time commitment. The faculty/staff campus sustainability program is coordinated by the CU Environmental Center.
To get started, visit the Green Office Program website
Zero Waste Bulletin Boards
The Environmental Center has lots of ready-to-post bulletin boards that contain information which highlights how, what and why to recycle.
This can be beneficial for your Office, Residence Hall floor, department hallway, class room area, lobby, or anywhere with a bulletin board to post information.
