UCLA Home / Campus Services / Facilities Management / Recycling & Waste Management

The Facilities Management Recycling Program enhances the UCLA environment by diverting substantial amounts of refuse from landfills and encouraging more responsible use of natural resources. Initiated in 1990, the program currently recycles nearly 9 million pounds generated annually by the UCLA community.

Recycling Program Overview 
The UCLA Recycling Program diverts substantial amounts of refuse from landfills and encourages more responsible use of natural resources.
 
Desk-Side Recycling Program 

In 4 months, the Mixed Paper recycling has had a large impact on UCLA efforts to stay ahead of the green curve.

White Paper 
White paper is a vital recycling commodity. Recycling white paper helps protect the environment by allowing us to use fewer natural resources. 
 
Mixed Paper, Cardboard & Other Materials 
Non-white paper recyclables including your Daily Bruin and other newspapers are collected from most UCLA buildings by custodial staff.
Rock Product, Wood & Metal Recycling 
Facilities Management recycles rock, metal products, wooden pallets and other wood items. Contact us for proper disposal.
 
Ways to Reduce, Reuse, Recycle 
Facilities Management is working to expand recycling programs for other commonly used and discarded items on campus.
Waste to Energy 
Nearly 12 million pounds per year go to a waste-to-energy plant located in an industrial section of the City of Commerce.
