About Us
Tufts recycles! , a program of the Facilities Department, was started by students in 1990. We work closely with our custodial contractor, ABM, and our recycling contractors, Conigliaro Industries and Save That Stuff, to ensure that recycling at Tufts reaches its fullest potential. We strive to be at the forefront of innovations that promote the wise use and conservation of resources. We look toward a time when all of our campuses will be “zero waste”.
