Weber State
University is responding to the call to recycle. Over 200
new purple containers have been delivered across campus to
departments and staff. Why the purple containers instead of
the blue? With these new purple containers, you can recycle
more than just a few paper items. For more information about
what can be recycled, click
here. For
faculty and staff to request a WSU Wildcat container, call
801-626-7535.
