SXU Recycles

Why should I recycle?

Saint Xavier University is committed to a campus-wide recycling program designed to save University resources and reduce the amount of solid waste headed to Illinois landfills. The active participation of every student, faculty and staff member is crucial to the success of the SXU programs.

Think before you throw!

If you are not sure whether an item is acceptable or not, be sure to check the list of acceptable items before depositing it in the recycling bin.

What if I have questions?
