2007 Recycling Summary:
The final 2007 recycling tonnages are in. In 2007, UConn recycled 248 tons of material, up 28% from 2006. (See bottom of page for detailed analysis.) Improvements to recycling infrastructure and efforts of UConn students, staff, and faculty are leading UConn’s recycling program in the right direction. Of course, there is still room for improvement!
