Viterbo Recycling

In 2008, Viterbo began a recycling program to collect and recycle paper products, aluminum cans, and plastic bottles. Sets of three containers were placed around campus to collect these items. To view the complete policy and to see what is acceptable to recycle click on recycling policy. 

Encourage everyone to recycle. Recycling one aluminum soda can save enough energy to run a television set for up to three hours.
