Waste Reduction Initiatives
Bucknell began its recycling program in 1971 with cardboard and newspaper, and now recycles over 17 different materials including aluminum, metal, glass, plastic, cardboard, office paper, computers, ink jet and toner cartridges, yard waste, rubber, solvents, oil, antifreeze, batteries, furniture, fluorescent tubes, and wooden construction debris. Bucknell Facilities maintains a recycling web page with guidelines as to which materials may be recycled, and how recycled materials should be treated and sorted.
