Recycling at KUMC

Welcome to the University of Kansas Medical Center recycling website.

The KUMC Student Recycling Organization won the KUMC Student Organization of the year award for 2005-2006. This was in recognition of great leadership and commitment to the community! Way to go guys!!

The recycling committee aims to raise awareness of the KUMC community about recycling and to give people the tools to be environmentally responsible.

Aluminum, tin and plastic are collected in one bin. Bins are in various locations around campus and are either Blue or Green in color. We will soon be changing to all blue bins. Please recycle your newspapers located beside the Newspaper Program areas.

NEW, NEW, NEW People bringing recycling from home can take their recycling to the large green/yellow bins located around campus. Please see KUMC drop off areas for locations. This will ensure we do not have piles of recycling sitting around campus. Thanks for your cooperation and enjoy the convenience!!

URGENT NEED....We have had a request for old cell phones. Rose Brooks Center is currently collecting old cell phones for use by their families staying in their shelter. If you or anyone you know would like to donate a used cell phone, please feel free to send to Elvia Brown, KUMC 3901 Rainbow Blvd, MS 4006, Kansas City, KS 66160.
