E-waste Recycling

E-waste is approximately 2% of landfill material but 70% toxic contamination. Luckily, Xavier has a path to recycle technology assets. Information Technologies will receive or pickup old or unused University technology equipment to be reused or recycled. In 2024, the University has also partnered with Cohen Recycling to collect personal electronic waste to be recycled at an event at the end of the academic year.  In 2024, 521 pounds of electronic waste was collected and recycled by the campus community. 

Holiday Light Recycling Initiative

Xavier University partnered with Bellarmine Parish, Great Parks of Hamilton County, and Cohen Recycling to collect and recycle approximately 350 pounds of Christmas lights after the 2023-24 holiday season. 

This holiday season, Xavier will again partner with Cohen Recycling to recycle holiday lights.  From November 25, 2024 to January 31, 2025, students, faculty, staff, and community members can drop off Christmas lights at designated drop-off bins at the Health United Building, Bellarmine Chapel, and Gallagher Student Center.
