NU Recycling, a division of the Physical Plant Department, focuses on waste reduction, recycling, and buying recycled products. In 1995 the University recycled 1,119 tons of materials. Recycling bins are located in every campus building.
Corrugated cardboard is collected at several locations across campus.
University housing residents receive a small blue recycling bin at the beginning of the academic year. Students are responsible for sorting materials for recycling and taking them to the collection area in their residence. NU Recycling depends on the cooperation of students, faculty, and staff. It is involved in may reuse and recycling efforts. For more information about NU Recycling's programs, call the office.
