In an effort to help preserve natural resources, Texas State has developed and maintains a Recycling Program.  The program is primarily the responsibility of Facilities - Grounds Maintenance. The RECYCLE CENTER recycles paper products, glass, plastic, and aluminum cans. For more information on recycling any of this products or how you can get your area setup for scheduled pickups click on the RECYCLE CENTER link at the top of the column on the left.

Environmental Health, Safety & Risk Management assists the RECYCLE CENTER by collecting and recycling other miscellaneous items. Items that EHSRM recycles include:

• Batteries - Alkaline and rechargeable (sorry no car batteries)
• Cell phones
• Ink jet cartridges
• Toner cartridges

Batteries

At the present time there are 24 locations located around the campus for the collection of old batteries, both alkaline and rechargeable. For a complete listing of locations click the following Battery Recycle Locations.
