¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ Recycling Program
Recycling is a key component of waste management and sustainability efforts. ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ created its Recycling Program in 1980. Since 2012, approximately 50 percent of all campus waste is recycled. ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ is committed to the Maryland Recycling Act* and becoming a zero-waste campus. Source reduction efforts, like our GIVE&GO project, Residential Paper Recycling Bags project, and Recycle Madness events are fully supported by the university. These programs promote a personal investment in sustainability, reduction of greenhouse gas production, and diversions of common landfill garbage into the recycling stream.
*The Maryland Recycling Act (MRA) requires all Counties and Baltimore City to recycle 15% or 20% of their municipal solid waste, depending on population. State government (including MDE) is required to recycle 20% of their solid waste.
