The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee’s Office of Sustainability was founded in 2008, and oversees all of UWM’s recycling, composting, and surplus.
In this episode, we toured the UWM University Services and Research Building at 4090 N. First St. and got an exclusive look at how they process UWM’s recycling.
We also toured the Surplus Store where UWM students and members of the community can visit to purchase surplus items at a discounted price. The most common items according to Sustainability Director Lindsay Frost include chairs, tables, desks, filing cabinets and computer monitors.
UWM Urban Spelunking is a docuseries that explores several of University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee’s most historic buildings and locations.
