Homewood Recycling

Homewood Recycling Homewood Recycling is committed to responsible waste reduction and disposal in order to protect the health of our community and our environment.

We strive to increase the reuse, recycling and composting of waste generated on the Homewood campus and reduce the amount of waste incinerated. We do this by educating faculty, staff and students about how and why waste should be sorted, making waste segregation easy and convenient; and encouraging the reduction of waste generation through promoting reuse. We provide regular collection of paper, c

ardboard, commingled (metal, plastic and glass) recyclables, and trash for all Homewood campus buildings. Food and other organics collection is provided in the dining areas on campus and event spaces in Levering Hall. Look for the blue (paper), green (commingled), yellow (compost) and grey (trash) bins on campus and THINK BEFORE YOU TOSS!
