Recycling at DU

Sustainability...
your university, your world

One of the University's stated goals is To achieve financial, operational, human, and environmental resource sustainability.  This is accomplished in part by practicing responsible environmental stewardship.

The mission of Denver University's Recycling Program is to implement a convenient, safe and cost-effective recycling program that is available to as many people as possible. We rely on participation and feedback from students, faculty and staff to continously expand and improve upon existing programs, as well as to develop new recycling/sustainability initiatives.  Since recycling at DU is just one action the institution and its members may take to increase sustainability, we strive to provide additional information about sustainable living so students are aware of how to lessen their environmental impact.

To this end, we will dispose of unwanted materials and equipment in an ethical fashion that protects both the environment and the people involved in the recycling efforts.  Our practices will be fiscally responsible, and comply with all applicable state and federal regulations.
