Sustainability and Recycling

                           

   At MUSC, the efforts of the Engineering and Facilities Sustainability Program will reduce the environmental impact of our campus by advancing energy efficiency, water conservation and encouraging recycling. Last year, MUSC recycled 27% of total solid waste. 

Guiding departments and units to reduce waste and helping them to conserve resources is our mission while we continue to increase the proportion of waste that is recycled.

Flip lids that we are no longer using

We have several hundred of these flip lids that we are no longer using. They fit on the standard Rubbermaid Slim Jim trash cans and we have replaced them with green lids.
