MISSION STATEMENT
The Tufts University recycling program was established in 1990 to promote recycling awareness and participation in a broad range of related environmental issues.
Tufts recycles is a program of the Facilities Department. The program works closely with the custodial staff: OneSource and our recycling contractor, Conigliaro Industries, to ensure that recycling at Tufts is carried out to its fullest potential. Our goal is to be at the forefront of new innovations that promote the wise use and conservation of resources.
