Dartmouth Recycles!

Established on July 1, 1988, DARTMOUTH RECYCLES was a campus-wide attempt to divert as much of the College's waste stream as was economically feasible from entering the local landfill. The impetus for the program is two-fold. First, the College was searching for a means by which to reduce the amount of waste sent to the landfill, as landfill tipping fees were increasing every year. Second, the Environmental Studies Division of the Outing Club (ESD) had already begun a recycling program that, while well received by the College, was just too small an operation to meet the demands of the Campus.
