New MSU Surplus Store and Recycling Center Facility

June 11th saw the start of construction for the new Surplus Store and Recycling Center with its official ground breaking ceremony. The event featured MSU Faculty/Staff, Students, and community members all celebrating the start of the new facility. “The new MSU Surplus Store and Recycling Center will open doors to new and more efficient processing procedures, which in turn, will generate a greater return on our reusable and recyclable materials,” said Ruth Daoust, Manager of the Surplus and Recycling Center. The new facility will accommodate three times the amount of materials of the current recycling facility. A new comprehensive recycling program, coupled with the facility, will allow the university to expand recycling collection in 549 buildings on campus. “The recycling facility and surplus provide us a greater opportunity to re-use and recycle the enormous amount of materials we bring to this campus,” said Kathy Lindahl, assistant vice president for finance and operations.

Construction has started and has already progressed. We will have periodic photo updates to show the progress over the next year as the facility is completed. Shown above is the current progress over the first 3 weeks of construction and new updates will be added into the existing slide show. You can also see the photos in a larger format or check out our blog for each update including new information and photos as they are available.
