Recycling In Our Communities
Residence Life Recycling provides a variety of services to the students in the residence halls and La Aldea apartments, at The University of Arizona. This page illustrates how recycling works in our communities.
Totes
Every student living in a residence hall and La Aldea graduate apartments has a recycling tote to use for the collection of recyclable materials in his/her room. The tote is the property of The University of Arizona. If a tote is broken or lost, the student will be charged a $10.00 replacement fee.
Bins
When your recycling tote is full, you can take it to the nearest recycling bin. Bins are centralized recycling areas located in every hall/apartment complex and they are emptied by the Residence Life Recycling field staff. You will see either the green recycling center, or the white cardboard bins.

Eco-Boards
Every Residence Hall has a designated eco-board with events, information and contact information. Here's where your hall board is located.
Recycling Schedule
Our staff usually picks up recyclable materials from each hall once or twice a week, according to Recycling Pick up schedule
Recycling Guidlines
Residence Life Recycling has a variety of restrictions and provisions for the materials that are recycled at the UA. Please consult the Recycling Guidelines, so that you know what can and can't be recycled in the halls. Please do not contaminate the bins by placing materials in them that do not belong there. If contamination and personal trash are found in the bins, then your whole floor could be charged for this inconvenience.
