UAHuntsville Recycling Program

RECYCLE
REDUCE	REUSE

Recycling is alive and well at UAHuntsville! Look for the color coded bins around the campus and do your part to help the environment.

The recycling program at UAHuntsville is a cooperative effort between Students and the University administration. It was established to divert recyclable materials from the University waste stream and to promote the benefits of recycling.

The overall purpose and goal of the program is to implement a comprehensive program to inform, educate, and encourage the campus community to recycle. As a campus community, we set an example to others by active participation to decrease adverse impacts on our environment and conserve precious natural resources.

The programs and services offered by the UAHuntsville Recycling Program benefit both students and the University by providing:

Greater awareness of recycling through education
Participation in Recycling activities
Outreach to the Community
Practical work experience
Campus collection services
