Schedule Recycling Services
There are two collection schedules provided depending on the number of recyclables generated from the buildings on campus.
- Route Schedule: For buildings with high product generation. The recycling employees collect up to three times a week from such buildings depending on how fast their containers are filled in a week. Review the Route Schedule Map to see if your building is on-route.
- "Call-in" Schedule: Provided buildings with low to moderate product generation. The occupants may call Recycling Services whenever their containers need pick up. The numbers to call are 979-862-2069 or the Recycling Hotline at 979-845-7777.
