The Center for Sustainable Development offers a 3-gallon recycling bin to check-out if you live in campus housing. 

Keep an eye out for the Blue Bin Brigade! We’ll have a table set up with bins, loan agreements, and recycling info. at chosen residence halls near the beginning of every semester. 

For the Fall 2023 semester, we will be checking out & distributing bins:

Monday, September 4th, 11:30 am - 1:30 pm: Kelly House & Liberty Street

Thursday, September 7th, 11:30 am - 1:30 pm: Berry & McAllister Residence Halls

Bins are checked out for the academic year and must be returned to the Center for Sustainable Development before you move out.
