"Dream Machines" are located at the University Recreation Center, Colby Hall and Sherley Hall.

In partnership with PepsiCo and Waste Management, TCU has three state-of-the-art recycling kiosks to campus. The machines are part of the Greenopolis Recycling System, an online social community that encourages incentive-based recycling.
 
The Dream Machine recycling initiative – created by PepsiCo in collaboration with Waste Management, Keep America Beautiful and Greenopolis – is introducing thousands of recycling kiosks and bins at high-traffic, public locations around the country to help increase the U.S. beverage container recycling rate by giving Americans convenient access to recycling receptacles.
 
“We’re thrilled at the arrival of the Dream Machines on campus,” said Keith Whitworth, sociology instructor and proponent of TCU’s sustainability efforts. “This was a student-led initiative, and it took a lot of hard work to get them here, and I can’t wait to see what the response will be.”
 
In an effort to bring awareness to the campus community about TCU’s recycling program, the Schieffer School of Journalism and SGA sponsored Recycling Awareness Week last week.
