A Message from the Superintendent

There are better places for education dollars than a hole in the ground!

The Division of Recoverable and Disposable Resources (DRDR), also known as UVA Recycling, is responsible for all recycling efforts at the University, helping to ensure that opportunities for material-based conservation and reclamation are maximized. The division also manages waste collection at the University.
