    Recycling Program

    Responding to God's call to care for creation, Calvin University initiated a recycling program in the early 1980s. What started as a basic program to collect glass, metal, plastic and paper products has grown into a service able to handle a wide range of materials from Styrofoam to construction debris. We are always looking to expand in new directions, so if you have an idea you want to share, please look for contact information below.The recycling program at Calvin University is managed by Grounds department staff. In addition to commonly recycled items such as paper, glass, metal and plastic, resident students and staff can recycle a variety of other materials. The university’s Recycling Coordinator oversees the program and records totals on a yearly basis.
