The NKU Recycling Program, overseen by Building Services,

assists the campus community with developing and implementing

waste prevention and recycling programs. We strive to make a

positive impact on campus through quality service and by

encouraging waste reduction and recycling.

Our staff collect office paper, newspaper, aluminum cans, steel cans,

#1 and #2 plastic bottles and cardboard from educational and

administrative buildings, residence halls,  and apartment complexes.

These materials are then recycled at the Rumpke Recycling Material

Recovery Facility in Cincinnati, Ohio.

We have an industrial shredder capable of bulk shredding (more...).

In addition, staff conduct special collections for surplus property and

computers. Surplus items are either recycled or put in storage for

distribution to NKU departments or non-profit organizations.

For more information about waste prevention and recycling at NKU,

please contact us.
