The mission of our department is to provide comprehensive recycling and composting services to the Clemson University campus. To accomplish this, we provide centralized recycling convenience centers, while also oversee the development of public awareness programs, public participation programs, and the provision of public education to minimize waste generation while diverting measurable quantities of waste destined for the landfill.

Many local residents came out to Kite Hill Recycling Center on Saturday, April 18 for the lawn mower exchange. Program participants traded their gas-powered lawn mower for a new battery-operated one at a fraction of the retail cost. Photos from the event are below:

Tons Recycled at Clemson University
The University's recycling rate is currently at 27%. For more detailed information on materials and amounts recycled, we provide annual results of just how much recycled and landfilled waste we process on a yearly basis. Tracking tonnage gives Clemson an idea of how we're doing in our efforts to meet the state goal of 35%.
