NIH Rocky Mountain Laboratories Recycling

​The NIH Recycling Program is committed to the delivery of effective, courteous, innovative, and responsive recycling services to the NIH. We serve to establish a supportive and informational role to coordinate recycling at all NIH installations in cooperation with local, state, and federal agencies. The program integrates the principles of recycling and waste reduction into all phases of daily activities and operations.

Before throwing items in the trash, please stop to consider if it is recyclable.

Zero Waste is a whole system approach which reduces consumption and ensures that products are made to be reused, repaired, or recycled back into nature or the marketplace.
