How to recycle:
- Bring your recyclables to your pickup point by 9 am on Monday (for fraternities) or Thursday (for sororities). If the volume you generate merits additional pickups, call NU Recycling at 467-1374.
- Each house has been supplied with least two 40-gallon blue recycling containers, which are property of the University. Individual houses are responsible for lost or stolen containers. Additional bins can be purchased through NU Recycling.
- Call NU Recycling at 467-1374 for educational materials and signage (bin labels, etc.). Provide NU Recycling with the contact information for your house’s recycling chairperson, and he or she will receive educational materials and program updates.
