Recycling

 

CU Recycling bins are strategically placed throughout the University Libraries. Please use them for their designated purposes.

 

CU Recycling accepts both CDs and CD hard plastic cases from campus departments for recycling. They mail them away to a company called Greendisk in Georgia, which grinds up the materials for recycling. You can put your items into a campus mailing envelope (or small sealed box) and send them to CU Recycling, 209 UCB.
