UCR sends roughly 2,500 tons of refuse annually. The university will also start diverting food waste, which currently mixes with general refuse. The university has selected Athens Services as their new recycling vendor, which has accepted the task of reinventing the campus’s diversion programs and collection infrastructure. For more information, refer to the Recycling & Waste Management program brochure.
