Ohio University has set a goal of recycling 80% of all waste generated. Campus Recycling is responsible for maintaining, monitoring, troubleshooting and upgrading the recycling and solid waste at all campus buildings and grounds areas. Within these areas are 4,000 recycling units in residence halls consisting of 16,000 bins; 350 bins in apartments; and recycling containers in all offices and other areas in academic, administrative and support areas.

Rufus Recycle Days
During Rufus Recycle Days, certain sports at OU will have a designated game during their season that will be a “green game”. To make the games more sustainable, there will be volunteers “bin goalieing” to make sure that any cans, paper, plastics, and food waste are disposed of properly. During halftime, fans can also participate in various games. Throughout the game, there will be tables where students and community members can learn about Campus Recycling and the Office of Sustainability and all of the amazing work they do to keep our campus clean, beautiful, and sustainable.
