Columbia College knows it is very important for our campus to be concerned about the environment. Our recycling program is the most visible way to make this a reality. 

"Our current recycling program will allow our entire college community the opportunity to be part of an ecological solution that enables us to use the world's limited resources more wisely. " -  President Dr. Warrick L. Carter PhD

The Columbia College Recycling Program aims to reduce the amount of waste we send to the landfill. To do so we need all our students, faculty, and staff to help. Recycling is a step toward conserving resources. 

We urge all of the Columbia College community to participate in campus recycling.  You can find recycling containers throughout the college. Please sort your recycling accordingly. Recycle your: Paper, Plastic, Glass, Aluminum as well as used batteries and technotrash (CDs/DVDs). For more information on each of our recycling programs, please view the links on the right.

Make it a habit, pitch in!
