RECYCLE JCU (Waste Removal @ John Carroll University)

John Carroll University will make a significant improvement in its campus-wide recycling efforts effective September 1, 2007. The University has entered into an agreement with Rumpke for the removal of the University’s solid waste and recyclables. Landmark uses a “state-of-the-art” processing center near Columbus where the recyclables will be separated. The University's trash is disposed of in Mansfield.
