Recycling Efforts - 2008
With the help of Students, Faculty, and Staff, UAHuntsville recycled 19% of its waste stream in 2008.
This means that 60 tons (120,000 lbs.) of waste was recycled. This represents a significant portion
of our total waste stream, but while this is good performance
on the part of our campus community, there is still much room to improve our efforts.
With help from people like you, next year's numbers can be even better!
