Our goal is sustainability and the reduction of our ecological footprint. We strive to meet these objectives by: - consuming cleaner energy, and less of it
- purchasing and using more ecologically friendly food and products
- reusing and recycling our resources
In February, the School kicked off its electronic hardware recycling program! Learn more about our free and easy electronic hardware recycling program. To recycle your School-owned electronic hardware, go directly to the help form and select "hardware recycling request." Recycle alkaline and non-alkaline batteries!
The dropoff box is conveniently located on the 1st floor of the Wolfe Street building (next to the FedEx dropoff box / behind the wall of cacti). There is another dropoff box on the 1st floor of Hampton House.

Johns Hopkins participated in RecycleMania 2009, a friendly competition and benchmarking tool for college and university recycling programs to promote waste reduction activities in their campus communities. Over a 10-week period, Hopkins schools reported recycling and trash data, which were then ranked in several categories. Read Johns Hopkins RecycleMania results. Check out the 5-Year Greenhouse Gas Inventory (with a 91K slideshow). Check out the Baltimore Green Living Guide (2009). Read up on the ESC's achievements. Check back in the fall for the 2009-10 "green" happy hour schedule. ESC members work closely with Bloomberg School programs and centers dedicated to advancing and promoting sustainability worldwide.
