About our Recycling Program

The Facilities, Management and Planning Department's -Physical Plant is responsible for the operation of this area although students remain actively engaged in the daily recycling on campus: working in conjunction with the recycling coordinator and staff of the recycling office..

The Bridgewater State College Recycling Program was created in order to facilitate a safe and speedy removal of recyclable materials. A few of the motivating factors for its creation are:

• To greatly reduce waste being sent to landfills                                                                   
• To greatly reduce the cost of rubbish disposal
• To provide part-time student employment
