The UVM Recycling and Waste Management program is part of the Physical Plant Department. We oversee the daily collection of solid waste, recycling and food scrap composting on campus from all University buildings and facilities, and coordinate many programs to reduce, reuse and recycle the University's waste stream.
The University recycles about 1.5 tons of paper, cardboard, bottles and cans PER DAY.
Red Cups Can Be Recycled:
In
October 2007, the list of plastic materials that can be recycled on
campus got bigger! We now recycle more types of plastic containers due
to expanded
guidelines from the Chittenden Solid Waste District (CSWD). This
includes "dairy tubs" such as yogurt, cottage cheese and margarine
containers, most "take out" food containers, plastic cups, and boxboard
such as
6-pack and 12-pack bottle carton
carriers. Refer to the new
list here. (Of course, it's still better to carry
your own cup).
