Return Recycling is an organization dedicated to providing educational institutions with zero waste infrastructure, analytics, and engagement strategies.

We design, build, and analyze the effectiveness of state-of-the-art recycling bins; create space for students to engage with waste characterization studies and other waste efforts on their campuses; and provide universities with waste consulting and analytic services that are paramount in developing a zero waste system.

Congratulations to Davis Saltonstall and Tessa Rosenberry, winners of the 2015 Dean's Undergraduate Research Fund (DURF) Video Contest! Davis and Tessa were awarded a DURF Team Research Grant in February 2015 for their project, "Recycling Signage and Behavior Change," and were named the 2015–16 Richard Robins Entrepreneurial Research Scholars. Their video documents their ongoing research on the impact of signage on recycling behavior at NYU. Watch the video to learn more about the project and the positive impacting it's having on the NYU community!
