Recycling & Waste
The University of Arkansas Recycling Center, better known as Razorback Recycling, is responsible for the collection, processing, storage, and marketing of all recyclable materials in educational and general purpose (E & G) facilities. The department also manages the operations of campus solid waste management in providing scheduled solid waste collection and disposal services for E & G facilities.
