USU works actively to reduce waste associated with university operations.
Compost
USU has both post-consumer and pre-consumer composting. This helps reduce our carbon emissions and also provides natural fertilizer for our landscaping team.
Recycling
USU has our own recycling plant. Drop off locations accept paper, cardboard, aluminum, and plastics 1 & 2. Glass and lots of other materials can be dropped off at the recycling center.
Race to Zero Waste
USU participates in this nation wide competition to reduce campus landfill waste annually. Race to Zero Waste aims to increase composting and recycling, and to reduce materials sent to the landfill.
