Recycling Program Suspended Until Further Notice
While the University is operating at Orange response level, which limits operations and facility access, recycling services offered by the Office of Sustainability are suspended until further notice. Stockpiled items in community cans will be picked up beginning, Monday, March 30. The custodial services team will no longer pull individual blue cans. The public recycling bins on Fourth Street are also closed. We appreciate your support and understanding during this difficult time.
