CU Recycling 50th Anniversary Celebration

Tuesday, November 17, 2026
9:00am – 2:00pm
University Memorial Center (UMC), 1669 Euclid Avenue, Boulder, CO 80309
In 1976, a small group of passionate CU Boulder students ran a DIY recycling operation out of two decommissioned military trailers. Now, 50 years later, CU Boulder is celebrating the anniversary of campus recycling: a program that has evolved with the times and remains a powerful example of the partnership and collaboration that make real change possible. Join us for guest speakers, educational sessions, zero-waste crafting, lunch and more!
