Recycling Services are provided as a collaboration between several different Facilities Management departments. These services synchronize cleaning crews for bin maintenance, labor crews for hauling, strategic partnerships for special materials, and education programming to create a successful program that services over 70 buildings on a daily basis. The program is also expanding to regional campuses.
