BGSU Recycling

The BGSU recycling program is funded in several ways:

• The University credits the Recycling Program the landfill disposal rate for every ton of recyclable material diverted from the landfill
  • The revenue generated from avoiding landfill fees pays for the student employees who collect the material
• Arrangements with the University allow for $3.00 of every student's general annual fee to aid the recycling program
  • Student fee pays for the full time recycling coordinator, and general office expenses.
• Revenue is also generated from selling the recyclables to the BG Jaycees’ Recycling Center
  • This revenue is used to pay employee salaries and other general expenses
• BGSU has received grants from numerous organizations  
  • Funding from the State of Ohio and the Wood County Solid Waste District benefit the recycling Program
  • Grants cover all capital equipment expenses, from the five collection vehicles to all the barrels and bins on campus
