Thank you for your interest in the GFU recycling program.
George Fox University is dedicated to reducing the amount of trash that ends up in public landfills. We have placed several recycling bins around campus for your use. Please be sure to place the appropriate materials in the correct container. A single incorrect item can cause a whole load of recyclables to be rejected and dumped in a landfill.
Please contact Plant Services at ext. 2010 if you have any questions regarding recycling on campus.
