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 and yet still maintain 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."
-Chris Young, Team Leader
