reduce reuse and recycle at uwsp<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The\u00a0Recycling\u00a0Work\u00a0Unit\u00a0is responsible for all university waste disposals, with the exception of items classified as hazardous waste. Our recycling policy is based on sound environmental practices that meet or exceed all national, state and local laws, regulations and ordinances as they relate to resource\u00a0recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our goal is to conserve our natural resources by reducing consumption of materials, reusing materials whenever possible, recycling materials using current technology and practicing wise procurement policies, including the purchase of recycled materials. Since sustainability is a very important part of our University’s mission, our recycling program is more comprehensive than most universities. We have our own Waste Education Center where materials are separated into individual recycling streams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waste Education Center<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Waste Education Center, which\u00a0provides students with landfill, wastewater treatment, recycling, composting and hazardous waste management training, is a great service to our campus. A portion of the building functions as the campus materials recycling facility and handles cans, bottles, plastic and cardboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
