Do your part and Sort It Out
As we continue our commitment to sustainability, we want to take a moment to remind everyone of the importance of recycling and waste sorting within our buildings, and for office users to continue to sort their personal deskside waste. In 2012, UBC Facilities formally moved towards a self-sort model for deskside waste in offices. Learn more about recycling and waste sorting.
