Recycling at Emory
Emory encourages all members of its community to help reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills. The University is committed to an overall goal of recycling 65 percent of its waste by 2015. To reach this goal, it is imperative that every student and employee REDUCE, REUSE, and RECYCLE.
Launched in 1990, Emory Recycles is a service provided by Campus Services to coordinate service across campus including academic buildings, dorms and offices.- In fiscal year '06-'07, over 1,916,96 tons of clear, green, and brown glass, scrap metal, mixed paper (including newspaper, magazines, phone books, and colored paper) and plastics #1 & #2 were processed and recycled.
- Last year alone Emory's recycled white and mixed paper saved 11,836.59 trees.
- Currently, 95 percent of electronic waste is re-purposed.
- Construction waste recycling is at 75 percent.
Emory's Recycling Center facility handles recycling for the CDC, area schools and retirement communities.
