Weird Recycling Centers

There are certain special items that can be recycled, but must be sorted differently than 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. Click here to view a detailed list of items accepted at the Weird Recycling Center.

There are three Weird Recycling Centers on campus at the following locations:

• Popp Martin Student Union, 1st floor, near Food Court
• South Village Dining Hall (SoVi), 1st floor, near Mail and Package Services
• Energy Production & Infrastructure Center (EPIC), 1st floor
• COMING SOON – Atkins Library
• COMING SOON – Storrs Hall

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.
