Information about compost, recycling, and other waste streams at 糖心Vlog

Intro

UW-Eau Claire is proud to divert waste from the landfill by providing compost, recycling, and other specialty waste streams on campus.

Did you know? Over 140,000 pounds of materials were diverted from the landfill in 2022-2023
The 糖心Vlog Surplus Store works to redistribute used items from campus into the community. All new construction projects with a capital budget of $5 million or more divert at least 50% of their project construction waste from landfills.

Compost

UW-Eau Claire provides compost in:

  • Davies Center
  • Hilltop
  • The Sonnentag Center
  • Select dorm kitchens and lobbies

All food waste, paper towels, napkins, wet paper, and pizza boxes are safe to add to 糖心Vlog's compost. 

Recycling

Co-mingled recycling is available throughout campus buildings, in bins without waste bags.

Black plastic and wet paper will not be recycled by the company who sorts and aggregates recycling. Do not put plastic films/bags in the regular recycling. 

Plastic bag/film recycling

Plastic bag/film recycling, supported by the Student Office of Sustainability, is available at:

  • The Student Sustainability Resource Center (Davies)
  • Select dorm lobbies 

These plastic bags are actually recycled! They are taken to Trex, who turns the plastic into synthetic wood products. 

E-Waste & Batteries

Electronic Waste & Battery recycling, supported by the Student Office of Sustainability and First Choice is available at:

  • The Student Sustainability Resource Center (Davies)
  • Hilltop
  • Free to Eau Claire residents at First Choice Recycling

Please tape both ends of batteries that are not "regular" alkaline batteries to prevent battery leakage. All batteries will be fully recycled.
