For Faculty and Staff
Most buildings will still continue to collect cardboard* and office paper from offices and departments across campus. Cardboard is a valuable commodity that will bring back revenue to the University. The cardboard collection process has not changed. Breakdown cardboard boxes and place near the recycling container or outside your office. The custodial staff will manage it from there.
Other recyclable materials generated by faculty and staff on campus can follow the same guidelines as students. Recycling generated off-campus should be managed by the or your local area.
Finally, remember when in doubt, throw it out! If you are unsure if something is recyclable throw it in the trash to avoid possible contamination.
