Acceptable Materials
The Clark Recycling Center accepts the following materials for recycling.
Note that blue and gray bins collect paper products while yellow bins collect containers.
Please do not mix containers and paper products in the same recycling bin! Mixing paper with containers and vice-versa is considered contamination and may result in the disposal of the contents of the entire bin.
For information on other items that are recyclable on campus, please visit our Physical Plant Recycles page.
During the academic year, pickups generally run Mondays through Fridays from 2:30pm to 5:30pm. Clark
residents may also drop off recyclables during these hours. Please do not leave recyclables when the Recycling Center is closed.
Throughout the academic year, the Center is open Monday through Friday from 2:30pm to 5:30pm. Clark Residents may drop off

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!
