RECYCLING | PROGRAMS AT BC

Below you'll find a list of the items and materials that are accepted for recycling on Broward College's Campuses as well as information about the organizations and staff members that facilitate these programs.
* With these programs 90% of our waste can be turned into materials we can use again!

Recycle these in Broward College blue bins:

Eyeglasses
Your gently used eyewear could make a world of difference to someone in need. Clear vision can enable a child to learn in school or help an adult maintain a job and support their family.
Clean out your drawers of outdated or unneeded prescription glasses and sunwear! Collectively, Broward College has already donated over 1,000 pairs of glasses to OneSight which regenerates and distributes them to give clear vision to people in this country and around the world who would otherwise not have access to vision care.
Drop off or send your glasses via pony to:
International Education
Willis Holcombe Center, Bldg. 31, Rm. 302
Shoes, Boots and Sandals
