Recycling & Waste
Constantly challenged in the area of recycling, this team strives to educate and promote Santa Clara University patrons in this practice. They are constantly looking for ways to make recycling as convenient as possible, while still maintaining the SCU atmosphere that so many people have grown accustomed to.

"We strive to do more than is asked of us each and every day."
-Gary Vargas, Team Leader
Efficient Use of Resources
"With education in mind, this team has a goal, to reach beyond the boundaries of SCU. If they can change the way we think about recycling here on campus, it’s only natural that when each of us heads for home at the end of the day or heads home at the end of each school year, we take this new knowledge to different parts of the world".
--Chris Young, Team Leader Recycling & Waste
