Recycling Program Pickup Schedule

Throughout the academic year, the Center is open Monday through Friday from 2:30pm to 5:30pm. Clark Residents may drop off recyclables during these hours. Please do not leave recyclables when the Recycling Center is closed.

The Recycling Center is closed during spring and winter breaks, and operates on a reduced schedule with a skeleton crew during the summer months when the University is not in session. With assistance from Physical Plant, recycling is still collected from campus buildings during spring and winter breaks and summer vacation.

Please note: The Clark Recycling Center services the University only, and is not affiliated in any way with the City of Worcester recycling program. Students living in off-campus apartments or houses that do not receive custodial services from Physical Plant should be participating in the City of Worcester's curbside trash and recycling programs. More information is available on the Worcester Department of Public Works website at: http://www.ci.worcester.ma.us/dpw/.

Please remember that we are primarily a student-operated effort. As a result, we operate on a reduced schedule when classes are not in session, and our ability to pick up may be negatively affected during times when our student staff needs to focus on academic pursuits (such as before class schedules are settled at the beginning of the semester and finals week).

Thank you in advance for your patience!
