UW Recycling services the Seattle campus, and services may be limited in the following areas due to location or unit funding sources. Services provided are recharged to cost centers for self-sustaining, rather than state-funded, units.
However, UW Recycling is happy to partner with you for recycling education or presentations for any location at no cost.
Harborview Medical Center
HMC’s Environmental Services department coordinates recycling and solid waste services for the Harborview Medical Center. UW Recycling does not provide services at HMC locations.
Housing and Food Services (HFS)
While UW Recycling coordinates the contracts and schedules for HFS’ waste services, all occupant requests should go to HFS directly. These requests include extra containers, special events coverage and other common occupant requests.
Leased or off-campus buildings
Most UW buildings located off-campus are leased. These buildings have recycling and solid waste services arranged through the building’s property management.
Check with your building coordinator or building property management to determine what services are available. If no services are provided, contact UW Real Estate for assistance or send questions to UW Recycling at recycle@uw.edu.
School of Medicine at South Lake Union
These buildings have recycling and solid waste services arranged through the building’s property management. Contact the Operations team regarding recycling and solid waste services for South Lake Union (SLU) locations. UW Recycling does not provide services at SLU locations.
UW Medical Center - Montlake
Similar to HFS, while UW Recycling coordinates the contracts and schedules to UWMC, all occupant requests, such as extra containers, special events coverage and so forth, should go to UWMC’s Environmental Services department.
UW Medical Center - Northwest
UWMC’s Environmental Services department coordinates recycling and solid waste services for the UWMC-NW. UW Recycling does not provide containers or services at UWMC-NW facilities.
