Water Fountains on Campus

The Columbia Recycling Program is asking your help in reducing our waste on campus. Even though your bottles are recyclable, we are supporting the idea of reusable water bottles. "The national recycling rate for water bottles is 23.4%. Bottled water produces up to 1.5 million tons of plastic waste annually. That in turn requires 47 million gallons of oil to produce" (1). 

We want to do our part to become part of a larger solution, one focused on resource conservation and waste minimization. Join us in bringing in your own refillable water bottle. Listed below are locations of all water fountains on campus. The list is broken up be building, by floor, and then by location.
