Recycling Program
It is with considerable pride that we do our part as environmental stewards at Norfolk State University, as we continue to evaluate and adapt to the changing environmental needs of the campus committed to recycling the materials it uses and to minimizing non-hazardous waste. It is the responsibility of every member of the campus community to support these efforts that will protect our environment by conserving resources and preserving rapidly diminishing landfill space. The Recycling Program is just one part of a much larger program of activities through which Norfolk State University takes an increasingly active role in further understanding and preservation of our environment in the years to come.
