About Us

Villanova’s Waste & Recycling program actively lives out the University’s Augustinian values of Veritas, Unitas, and Caritas by promoting truth through transparent, responsible waste practices, fostering unity through collaboration across campus departments, and demonstrating love through care for people and the planet. By reducing waste, expanding reuse and recycling opportunities, and encouraging community participation, the program advances better stewardship of both the common good and our common home. It also supports academic inquiry by fostering research in sustainable materials management within coursework and faculty-led studies, helping integrate real-world sustainability practices into Villanova’s academic mission.
