Where do Harvards recyclables and trash go?
TOP Harvard’s trash is transported all the way to South Carolina…which uses quite a fair bit of fossil fuel, as you can imagine! Recycling, however, goes to nearby Charlestown, where it is processed for shipping to mostly local manufacturers. Thus in addition to saving the energy used to create new material from fossil fuels, at Harvard, recycling also saves transportation emissions!
