Weird Recycling Centers
Weird Recycling Centers
Certain special items can be recycled, but must be sorted differently from other, more common recyclable items. Students and staff can take these “weird recycling” items to a Weird Recycling Center on campus – including cables/cords, plastic bags, ink cartridges, small batteries, and eyeglasses. If you aren’t sure if an item is accepted at a Weird Recycling Center, ask the Waste Wizard!
There are five Weird Recycling Centers on campus at the following locations:
- Popp Martin Student Union, 1st floor, near Food Court
- Prospector
- Energy Production & Infrastructure Center (EPIC), 1st floor
- Atkins Library, Area 49 Makerspace
- Storrs Hall, 1st floor, main atrium
Student organizations can also use the Weird Recycling Centers as a collection drive space.
The Weird Recycling Centers were made possible by the Charlotte Green Initiative, a student committee that allocates funds to support sustainability projects across campus.
