The Recycling and Waste team provides the Santa Clara University Community with exceptional recycling, landfill collection, and disposal services. SCU's goal of being Zero Waste (90% diversion) by 2020 is well on its way. Currently, we are at a 59% diversion rate which places SCU on its way to our projected goal. Our Recycling and Waste team is here to improve, protect and preserve the environment at SCU by properly collecting all reusable materials that do not belong in landfills.
