We try as hard as we can to reuse old material, without going as far as scrapping old robots, when prototyping or partaking in other build projects.

Much of our recycling besides material reuse is generally for fundraising purposes. Lately, we have received donations of scrap electrical components and other metal scrap from local companies. The copper, aluminum, steel, and brass is separated, and taken to be scrapped and recycled.

A longer team tradition of ours has been our summer can and bottle drives, which we hold a few times every summer. These always raise high community interest, and raise a great amount of bottles and cans which end up supporting the team a good amount. The way I see it, it's better the cans go to a good cause and get recycled than go in a landfill somewhere
