Campus Recycling and Waste Management

Campus Recycling Information

What is Single Stream Recycling? Single Stream Recycling means that you do not have to separate your commingled recyclables (small glass, plastic, and metal items) from your paper recyclables - they can all be placed TOGETHER into ANY commingled or paper recycling container!
 
Everyrecycling container on campus is  a Single Stream Recycling Container.
 
Please note that cardboard is not part of the single stream recycling program -- please continue to flatten all boxes and place them next to your trash or recycling container.
