Where do we recycle?

We recycle in all Office Areas and Office Suites in Academic buildings. We continue to add recycling to the residential communities with the help of the SGA.

How does the recycling program work?

We recycle Office Paper, Computer Paper, Plastic, Aluminum Cans and Scrap Metal. Recycling starts at the desk of Faculty and Staff members. We provide desk sides for our Faculty and Staff. This box provides a location for participants to conveniently store their recyclables until it is full. The participant will then empty recyclables into a blue recycling container centrally located in the area. That blue container is then emptied by the custodial staff and taken to a central location for our recycling specialist to retrieve. We do ask that all recyclables remain separate in the blue bags by the type of recyclable items. Example:

  • All paper in one blue bag.
  • All plastic in one blue bag.
  • All Aluminum cans in one blue bag.
  • Please contact Recycling or your assigned custodial representative for cardboard pick-up.

How do we recycle Scrap Metal?

Property & Inventory Management will inspect all worn-out or obsolete property to determine the method of disposal. The method may be scrap metal, sealed bid materials, or by auctioneer in accordance with state guidelines. Please contact Property & Inventory Management with questions concerning disposal at 348-7501. As of May 2008, the University’s recycling vendor for scrap metal was awarded to Liberty Recycling of Tuscaloosa.
