Residence hall move-in and move-out are two of the largest waste-generating events on campus each year. The Recycling team has implemented ways to recycling cardboard and styrofoam during move-in, and donation opportunities for unwanted items during move-out.

special Materials handling

In addition to the “core” recyclables (cans, bottles, paper, and cardboard), UNC Charlotte collects special materials from shop areas on campus, including scrap metal, yard waste, and wood waste. This includes academic shop areas and facilities shops for renovations and repairs.

Zero waste event planning

Zero waste is an ambitious goal that challenges businesses to find ways to reuse, compost, or recycle any waste generated. The Office of Sustainability encourages zero waste campus events and offers supporting resources and information for these events.
