Ellie Butkovich ’26 helps Cornell Dining cut waste by turning small student actions into campus‑wide sustainability wins.

Members of the Cornell community can recycle their home and office electronics sustainably (and for FREE) by bringing them to the Cornell Recycle Center (251 Solidago Rd) between 8:00am-3:00pm.

Cornell is digging into campus trash this March—to help us waste less and recycle smarter.

Join the two-month campaign to reduce waste, improve reuse and recycling, and rethink our campus relationship to goods and materials.  2026 campaign begins February 19th and event organizing is open to all campus partners.

Bring your reusable mug to Cornell Dining retail locations (cafés) - save 15% on your drink, earn a punch toward a free beverage, and help reduce millions of single-use cups and lids!
