Single-Use Mask Recycling Now Available

Sep 30, 2020

Facilities & Services has partnered with TerraCycle to collect disposable masks for recycling, and we need your help! We are reaching out to units across campus to find the best locations for collection boxes. This program is offered at no cost to individual units and is supplemented through Student Sustainability Committee (SSC) funding.

The Process:

  • F&S will provide your building with a prepaid recycling box (or boxes) and associated signage for single-use mask collection.
  • Once full, it will be collected by F&S staff and shipped to TerraCycle to recycle into composite lumber-like materials.

What we ask from you:

  • Identify prime locations in your building for recycling boxes.
  • Email recycling@illinois.edu when box is full.
Please email recycling@illinois.edu with your interest as soon as possible in partaking in this recycling program and if you have any questions or concerns.
