堆肥 & 回收

BG大游’s 回收 department manages the university’s solid waste streams, 包括回收, 堆肥, 和垃圾. The department has received numerous 奖 for its innovative waste management programs, including our universal three-bin system and on-site 堆肥ing facility.

We also offer special recycling for hard-to-recycle items like batteries, 纺织品, Styrofoam across campus to reduce our waste as much as possible. We have set an ambitious goal of reaching zero-waste by 2025 and work every day to meet it. Please read below for more information on recycling and 堆肥ing at SU, reach out to us with any questions or comments. 谢谢你！!

我们的垃圾去了哪里?

Have you ever wondered where your trash ends up? Waste management is complex and the answer might not be obvious. We also recycle many hard-to-recycle items like old 纺织品, batteries, electronics, much more. These waste streams are unique and help us move towards our goal of achieving zero-waste.

BG大游's 堆肥 Facility

Our onsite facility annually turns 178,000 pounds of food waste into 堆肥. The 堆肥 is spread in planting beds to improve soil quality. 该设施已经赢得了几个奖项 奖 for being located in a large city, adjacent to an apartment building and restaurants, 而且没有异味问题.

To schedule a group tour, contact Nathan Wolk at wolknathanie@centraltire.net. The facility is located at 755 13th Avenue. between the O’Brien Center and the 法学院 Annex. (map).
