What You Can Do

• Use a refillable water bottle, and fill up at one of the 205 hydration stations across campuses.
• Take the sustainability pledge and get 10% off on a reusable water bottle from the USC Bookstore.
• Book your campus events with USC Hospitality Private Events and Conferences and request caterers and materials that prioritize waste reduction.
• Avoid single-use items for events and everyday living. Prioritize reuse, and products that can be safely used multiple times.

What USC is doing

• Providing more access to compost and recycling waste streams. USC has installed 98 new exterior multi-stream waste bins across HSC, UPC, and USC Village.
• USC Hospitality has transitioned their dining operations away from single-use plastics to sustainable alternatives.
• USC’s ban on single-use plastic beverage bottles has kept over a million bottles out of landfills.
