The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has over 1,000 recycling bins for paper, plastics #1&2, and aluminum cans, as well as drop-off locations for newspaper and cardboard.

Come and take a tour of our Waste Transfer Station to see how these recyclables are collected, sorted, baled, and sold to various companies to reduce costs on campus. Come check us out! Your time will not be waste-d.
