About This Center

The University of Alabama's recycling center provides the campus community with a convenient way to divert recyclables from the waste stream, promoting the benefits of recycling. They offer desk-side boxes for faculty and staff to store recyclables until full, which can then be emptied into centrally located blue recycling containers. Recyclables should be kept separate by type in blue bags. The center also manages recycling efforts for batteries, bulbs, and motor oil, monitored by environmental agencies. Visitors can recycle cell phones at designated locations on campus. Additionally, the center collaborates with various departments for composting programs and recycles fryer oil and scrap metal. For specific disposal inquiries, visitors can contact the Property and Inventory Management office.

Shelia “Kitty7” Thompson (5/5 stars, 3 years ago): Dumpsters are clean ground is clean no nasty spills everything is neatly labeled and organized opposite of other areas where trash is plentiful and spread throughout the area. They're closed during business hours- GREAT keep it that way. It'll help keep it safe and CLEAN. If everybody corrugate their boxes it will help save space and perhaps assist workers.

KY 305GARAGE (2/5 stars, a year ago): The layout of the place is a bit chaotic there can be times that most of the dumpsters are full so you don't have space to leave your stuff after you take the time of the day to pass by. The place shuts down in all Holidays and sometimes the place is shut down for unknown reasons. Things that could improve the place would be more dumpsters and better use of the spaces provided.

Justin Geisler (2/5 stars, 3 years ago): Not open on Sundays and doesn't accept recycling. Why would you have a recycling center that doesn't have demarcated dumpsters to allow people to drop off the recycling after hours?! It's not even that difficult!
