Recycling Program

ASU Recycling Services provides bins around campus for aluminum, plastic, and paper. Additionally, the university demanufactures electronics, recycles batteries, toner and ink cartridges, cell phones, and even shoes. The ASU Recycling Services website provides guidelines for recycling on campus.

ASU West Recycling Services provides receptacles for office paper and newspaper on the ASU West campus, and also collects aluminum and corrugated cardboard.

ASU is redeveloping its recycling program to become more efficient and expansive. This new recycling program will ultimately be implemented on all four ASU campuses.

Reducing Junk Mail

ASU Mail Services has partnered with Ecological Mail Coalition to help reduce each department´s junk mail. Ecological Mail can help decrease the volume of catalogs, magazines or other advertising mail for employees who are no longer in a department.

Composting

Since 2007, ASU has partnered with Ken Singh Farms to compost a portion of the organic waste produced on campus. Between July and August of 2007, ASU composted over 23,000 pounds of organic waste; over 15,000 pounds of compost were returned to ASU to use as fertilizer for the ASU grounds and Arboretum.
