Zero-Sort recycling makes going green easier than ever. With Zero-Sort, just toss all of your recyclables - such as cardboard, office paper, magazines and aluminum cans - into one bin. Learn more about Zero-Sort recycling here. 

 Location of bins depends on the residence hall 

1. Shay-Loughlen: small rooms in middle of wings where garbage is also taken
2. Devereux: in the halls in various wings
3. Rob-Fal: center locations in wings next to the stairs
4. Doyle: 
        Chapel side: bins located at the top of the stairwells
        Health Services side: bins located in small indented wall stations
5. Francis: in halls on various wings or in small rooms where garbage is taken
6. Gardens & Townhouses:
        Each apartment has one recycling bin in the kitchen area. When full,
        empty into the nearest recycling outdoor facility which include:
             -- The brick hut next to the trash bin in front of Gardens East
             -- Outdoor blue totes in back of Francis and near the trash bins
                 behind Phase One and in front of Phase Two.

All academic buildings should have zero-sort recycling bins. Please contact the Green Office (375-2266) about your ideas to improve recycling in these buildings.

Many office areas were previously given bins. While we cannot supply individual offices with bins, we can supply major areas or floors with bins.

Computers and printers purchased by the university should be taken to Central Receiving for proper disposal. Cell phones and printer cartridges can be dropped off in the Thomas Merton Center to Sr. Suzanne Kush; a supplier provides a small reimbursement that is used to support the campus recycling program. 

We recycle at basketball games so please recycle your EMPTY plastic, aluminum and glass containers. Paper programs and empty cardboard popcorn containers are also recyclable.

RC Cafe: There are two zero-sort recycling bins.  Please use them!  

1. Textbook recycling at the end of each semester.
2. Clothes, furniture & food donation spots during MOVE-OUT at the end of the academic year

Remember: You won't have to recycle if you don't buy it in the first place.
