The University strives to divert waste from the landfill through recycling, minimizing waste, composting and practicing appropriate reuse.

• UC has been implementing recycling and landfill stations in a variety of buildings across campus that are working to create a uniform, branded language of recycling that is aesthetically pleasing and ergonomic for the user.
  
• For athletic and special events, the Office of Sustainability coordinates recycling efforts. 
• During move-in and move-out, the Office works with a variety of different campus stakeholders to increase waste diversion through recycling, donating materials, and practicing appropriate reuse.
• Institutionally, Surplus Management serves the University in all matters relating to the proper handling of all end of life cycle assets.
• UC also composts coffee grounds from all of Main Campus's cafe locations and combines it with dead organic matter that is composted from the landscape and eventually returned to campus as mulch and soil amendment.
