You don't have to be on Grounds to support UVA's commitment to sustainability! Every off-Grounds employee has a role to play and your actions matter.

Learn about current recycling, reuse, and disposal options for your off-Grounds, Charlottesville-area UVA department or agency workplace. Not sure how or where to recycle batteries? How to safely dispose of paint? Who offers compost services? We’ve gathered the information into a directory below, through the great work of Jennie Taylor, Operations and Programs Service Manager with Virginia Humanities. Check out this simple guide on how to use the directory.
