We may have the oldest colleagiate recycling program in the nation, but in the summer of 2015, we got a brand new Grounds and Recycling Operations Center and we love showing it off! The GROC (sounds like G-rock) is an intermediate step in the recycling process between the campus buildings at the University of Colorado and the end markets for recycling. Recyclable materials collected from recycling bins across campus are delivered to the GROC, where student workers load, sort, and weigh materials in preparation for shipment to the local Boulder County Recycling Center, where materials are further processed and shipped to markets to be made into new products. Join Dan Baril the Zero Waste Program Manager to see and learn about this amazing resource on our campus.
