Facilities Recycling Program

In order to be as efficient as possible please follow these tips:

• Everything must be clean, empty, and dry

• All items, especially food containers must be free of all organic material like food, drink or grease

• Ex: greasy pizza box, detergent bottle with residue

• No composite items

• Things made of more than 1 material cannot be recycled

• Ex: Mailing envelopes with bubble wrap lining

• If you are unsure if something is recyclable, throw it in the trash! It is better that one piece of recyclable material is in the landfill than one piece of trash ruins an entire load of recycling.
