The Campus Environmental Center (CEC) at UT handles recycling of aluminum cans and #1 and #2 plastics. There are 24 large, blue barrels located throughout campus for outdoor recycling. They can only accept plastic bottles without lids. Please do not put full bottles or anything that has been used for food or hygiene purposes in these barrels.

Indoor recycling is a voluntary program which you can sign up for. Volunteers “adopt” barrels indoors and are responsible for carrying bags of recycling to a pre-designated pick-up location. Student drivers collect bags usually once a week. The CEC cease operations during the winter and spring breaks, so do arrange for a pickup prior to these holidays. Please visit their Web site if you have any additional questions or concerns or would like to adopt-a-barrel.

Ink and Toner Cartridges

The Campus Environmental Center (CEC) recycles ink and toner cartridges from UT and from your home. Sign up online and create a collection point in your office or department. When it has 5-20 cartridges, you can call a student volunteer to do a pickup. Once again, these pickups are handled throughout the school year and are not operational during winter break or spring break. Make sure you get a pick up before these breaks. You can also drop off your printer cartridges at the CEC office in SER 207.

Document Solutions Printing Services also recycle printer ink cartridges only from UT. Through them, you can drop off a box of cartridges at any Campus Mail pick-up location, at the Mail Services Building, or call 512-471-6523 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting              512-471-6523      end_of_the_skype_highlighting to arrange a large pickup. Another option is to drop them off at any office product store (e.g. Office Depot, Office Max).
