New Waste Reduction Programs on Campus
We are so excited to announce that, this October, we will be implementing three new waste reduction programs! A couple have already started, such as flexible plastic recycling at Northern Lights Dining and specialty recycling for NMU residents.
Flexible Plastic
The flexible plastic recycling program collects mainly bread bags from the dining hall and brings them to a flexible plastic collection location(Meijer).
Residential Specialty Recycling
What Can Be Recycled on Campus?
Marquette’s recycling facility is truly impressive! At Recycle906, they accept a wider range of materials than many other facilities, including Starbucks hot and cold cups—something most places can’t process due to the plastic lining that prevents leaks. But Recycle906 makes it work! Just ensure the cups and lids are empty (no liquids) and free of food or drink residue, and you’re good to go.

Northern's first-ever rooftop solar array has officially been online for one month. How is it doing?
