What We're Doing

Recycling and Waste

Zero Waste WWU!

The WWU Office of Sustainability and Facilities Management are committed to elimating all recyclable and compostable waste from the WWU waste stream. Through education, operational changes and peer education, WWU will become a "zeo waste" institution.

WWU Recycling Center

In 1971, Western Washington University became one of the first universities in the United States to have a campus recycling program. The A.S. Recycle Center continues to be unique among its kind: it's student - run!

Every day, the A.S. Recycle Center collects 3,800 pounds of recyclables from Western's campus, continuing our commitment to reducing Western's waste stream and lightening our burden on the environment.
