WE WANT YOUR TRASH!!!

Did you know there is a Recycling Center on the Tech Campus? We take all plastic, all paper, aluminum, tin, glass, cardboard and foam. Yes, we accept styrofoam (packing, cups, egg cartons, etc.). University Student Housing has purchased a foam densifier and we are able to densify it into bricks and sell the bricks. All containers should be empty and clean and bagged. We ask that paper be bagged seperately from other items, so it is does not get wet.

We also accept electronics (computer, printers, phones, etc.) and textiles (bedding, linens, clothing, old shoes, etc.). These items can be left at our recycling center in the bins with other recyclables.

We would like to collect any unused phone books from the buildings on campus. If you have phone books in your building that are not being used, please contact us at housing.gogreen@ttu.edu to schedule a pick up.

Also, if your office needs to clean out files, etc. this is the time to do it. We can recycle office paper, newspaper, file folders, shredded paper, etc. The weights from the recycled items will be added to our numbers in the RecycleMania competition and the rebates received from the recycler will be put in the Sustainability Scholarship account.

You can bring the items to the Recycle Center behind Housing Services (nouth of Art 3D) or contact Melanie at housing.gogreen@ttu.edu to schedule an on campus pick up or for directions. The Recycle Center is open to the public, so tell your friends and family. Items may be dropped off at center anytime, seven days a week. Lets work to make Lubbock and Tech GREEN!!
