The Auburn University Facilities Division and Sustainability Initiative created The Auburn Recycling Program in 2005. Their mission is to promote recycling, waste diversion and reuse.

Auburn currently has five recycling programs: Deskside, Residential Life, Game Day, Sidewalk and Recycling Dumpster.
