Recycle
Pitt is committed to reducing landfill waste by 25% by 2030. Support this goal by recycling and composting! Pitt uses single-stream recycling—where paper, metal, plastic, and glass all go into one bin—but specialized recycling for textiles, batteries, electronics, and more can be found around campus. Learn more about our recycling, composting, and zero waste initiatives.
