Recycling services

The UVA Facilities Management Recycling team collects and sorts recyclable materials, helping ensure that opportunities to divert materials from landfills are maximized and that materials are properly sorted and tracked to meet UVA's waste goals.

The UVA Recycling team, led by Courtney Cotton (Waste and Recyclables Materials Manager), hand sorts and bales all items that have been placed into recycling bins on Grounds at the Ivy Sort Facility to ensure materials can be properly diverted. UVA Recycling collects the following materials:

• Aluminum and other metals
• Cardboard
• Electronics (at specific locations)
• Glass, all colors
• Plastics #1-5 and PLA #7 (except Styrofoam)
• White and mixed office paper
