Detailed Do's and Don'ts for Recyclers
PAPER MATERIALS (for items to be placed in GREEN BINS and BLUE BINS).
CLEAN-OUTS: Please distribute this flyer to faculty or staff engaged in office and file clean-outs. While these separation rules don't need to be followed perfectly, less than 90% accuracy will present significant difficulties for our recycling staff. Contact OWM for additional yellow and blue toters if large quantities are expected. The general rule is no plastic or metal allowed. Staples, tape, and paper clips are okay but large metal or plastic fasteners are not.
- BOUND PAPERS: Remove paper from binder or spiral, then place paper in green or blue bin.
- BOOKS: Hardcover - call for special pick-up or drop-off at WRTF. Soft-cover - remove and dispose covers, then place in green or blue bin.
- BLUEPRINTS: Place in trash bin.
- BROWN CLASP ENVELOPES: Place in green or blue bin.
- CATALOGS: Place in the green or blue bin. Call for pick-up if large quantities
- CARBON PAPER: Old style carbon paper should be placed in trash.
- CARBONLESS COPY PAPER: Place in green or blue bin.
- FAX PAPER: If old style thermal fax, place in trash. Otherwise, place in green or blue bin.
- HANGING FILE FOLDERS If metal hanger removed, place in green or blue; if not, then place in trash.
- MANILLA & COLORED FILE FOLDERS Place in green or blue bin.
- MYLAR PRINTS OR OVERHEAD SHEETS Place in trash bin.
- POST-ITS, INDEX & BUSINESS CARDS Place in green or blue bin.
- CONFIDENTIAL PAPER If shredded, it can go directly to green or blue bin or yellow/blue toter. If unshredded, then box or bag and mark "Confidential." If your location is not on a regular Confidential route, then call for a special pickup. Due to the labor-intensive nature of the paper shredding process, please limit your designation of "Confidential" to those papers that absolutely require such designation.
- COPY PAPER WRAPPERS: Place in green or blue bin.
- ENVELOPES WITH WINDOWS: Place in green or blue bin.
- PAPER BOARD: Tissue, gift and dry goods boxes are to be placed in the trash. Call the IPF if you have large quantities and we will pick-up for recycling. This material is recyclable but is not acceptable in the mixed office paper green or blue bins.
- POSTAL PACKAGING: Place in trash bin.
- AEROSOL CANS: Dispose of in the trash until further notice. Aerosol cans are considered a safety hazard due to the systems employed by our vendor for unloading, handling, and densifying bottles and cans.
- GLASS: Glass food and beverage containers are the only acceptable type of glass to be placed in the red bottle and can bins.
- PAINT CANS: Empty paint cans do not go in the red bottle and can bin. If empty and dried, they may be delivered to IPF and placed in scrap metal roll-off.
- PAPER BEVERAGE CARTONS
- PLASTICS ALLOWED IN RED BOTTLE AND CAN BIN: Any plastic bottle, jar, tub, or microwave tray, e.g., detergent and cleaner bottles, beverage bottles, clean peanut butter containers, condiment jars, dairy food tubs and deli (non-Styrofoam) trays. Due to the frequent differences in plastic resin found in container caps versus container bases, you are asked to remove and dispose in the trash - all caps, lids, and covers.
- PLASTIC PACKAGING: At this time, the following cannot be practically and economically recycled in this region.
- Blister Pack Styrofoam cups/plates
- Plastic toys Styrofoam packaging blocks
- Plastic utensils (polystyrene)
- Toxic, corrosive, or flammable liquid containers (motor oil, pesticides etc.)
- Plastic films (garbage, grocery, food bags)
