At LRP Recycling, we’re dedicated to helping colleges and universities across the nation keep tons of waste out of landfills through responsible recycling. Our recent project at a college in Rhode Island highlights how thoughtful campus upgrades can drive real environmental impact.
Eco-Friendly Dorm and Lounge Updates
As part of their commitment to a greener, more sustainable campus, this college partnered with LRP Recycling to responsibly recycle:
95 loveseats
190 sofa chairs
Rather than sending outdated furniture to the landfill, the college chose to recycle, reinforcing its role as a steward of the environment.
Meaningful Results for the Campus and Beyond
Through this effort, the college achieved:
✅ 23,750 pounds of material diverted from landfills
💧 142,500 gallons of water saved
⚡ 855 days of energy conserved

This initiative not only modernized campus living spaces but also helped protect natural resources and reduce carbon emissions—impacting both students and the broader community.
