    Campus Recycling employs ~45 Student Recyclers each term to mostly perform recycling collection and processing duties. There are a limited number of positions involving administrative and technical duties working on education, administrative tasks, material tracking, special projects and web site design and maintenance. Student Recycler positions are mostly physical labor and involve driving large vehicles, doing recycling service routes. You must be in good shape and have a clean driving record. Having a good work ethic and attitude are essential for working at Campus Recycling.

   Campus Recycling operates year round from Monday-Friday 7AM-6PM. On a rare occasion, weekend work is available (only during some conferences and campus events). Work is required during finals week. Work is available during breaks and summer for those interested.

   Work study and tech fee funded students are given preference for employment with Campus Recycling. Many students have this funding during the year and not in the summer, which is acceptable. If you don't have work study or tech fee funding, you might consider volunteering or doing an academic internship with the program. Additionally, non-financial aid funded students are considered after the terms begin to fill leftover openings.
