Recycling, Compost, Landfill - What Goes Where?

This page is designed to make recycling at UM-Dearborn simple. Please remember, these guidelines are specific to UM-Dearborn's Recycling Program. Every recycling program has slightly different rules depending on where you are (we know... it could be more convenient). If you're curious about the recycling guidelines where you live, visit the Michigan Recycling Directory and type your county or city in the search box. 

While we don't have composting options across our campus buildings yet, our pilot Zero Waste Events program is a stepping stone to get there. Visit the Zero Waste Events page to learn more about how to host an event that is better for people and the planet.
