Recycling Program
All recyclables are collected from set locations such as blue recycling containers beside desks, in copy rooms, hallways, office kitchens, or lounge areas. These items are collected throughout the building by Housekeeping Staff and brought to the outside recycling dumpsters for pickup.
The campus community (faculty, staff, and students) shall separate their recycled items from trash/garbage and place them in the correct containers. Recyclable materials shall be deposited in blue containers that are marked for this purpose. These containers are located in hallways, office kitchens, and/or lounge areas, beside the desks of faculty and staff, in copy rooms, and in computer labs. Cardboard boxes shall be flattened and left next to the blue recycling containers. Plastic wrapping and Styrofoam shall first be removed from the boxes and discarded as trash. Please assist the recycling effort by not depositing rubbish of any sort in the blue recycling containers. The collection dumpsters on site are for college-generated trash or recyclables only. Trash and recyclables generated offsite/at home should be handled, collected, and discarded properly at their source.
The Housekeeping Staff is responsible for collecting the recycled materials from the blue containers and the flattened discarded cardboard boxes left next to the blue recycling containers. Any plastic wrappings or styrofoam packing left in the boxes must be discarded as trash. The Housekeeping staff will transport the collected recyclables to the appropriate recycling dumpsters for pickup.
