Thank you for your commitment to our environment! JMU Recycling has greatly expanded its capabilities in support of your efforts.

NEWS ALERT! JMU now recycles all plastic containers numbers 1-7! Recyclemania 2011- Results are in! 2012 Recyclemania is underway. Please help support our efforts during this competition. Did you know JMU is now composting at East Campus Dining hall, Gibbons and Festival. Normally these materials would have gone into the landfill without a composting program. The next time you attend any of JMU sport events please take notice of our Recycling signs. Please place your recyclables in designated recycling containers to help us fulfill our mission in Recycling!
