Recycling in Your Building

• How does it work?
• When do we pick up recycling?
• What if we want another bin?
• What resources are available?

How does it work?

• Recycling at UAA is a joint effort between the
  recycle workers and the staff, faculty and
  students.
• If staff, faculty and students want to recycle,
  they must put their mixed paper and/or cardboard
  in a blue recycle bin. It might take a little
  effort on their part, but if they are willing, it
  can really make a difference in the long run.

7
How it works (cont.)

• If an office or department on campus recycles,
  they usually have one large blue recycle bin
  located in a central area (usually in the
  copyroom/mailroom).
• Staff and faculty normally have a box or bin that
  fits under a desk or in their workspace, and
  whenever the box or bin gets full, they take it
  and dump it into the central recycle bin.
• Sometimes its close enough to even take
  recycling from their desk or work area directly
  to the central recycle bin.

8
How does it work (cont.)

• Finally, for the main on-campus buildings, the
  recycling is collected from the central bins by
  the recycle crew, and is handled by us and the
  recycle center from there on out.

9
When do we pick up recycling?

• Recycling gets collected every Friday (unless the
  campus is closed) for on-campus buildings.
• Recycling for off-campus buildings gets collected
  on a weekday, and varies from semester to
  semester depending on class and school schedules.
  For this Spring 09 semester, recycling for
  off-campus buildings is collected on Wed.

New office/department Recycling

• If you notice that an office/department in your
  building is without easy access to a centrally
  located recycle bin, please contact us via e-mail
  or phone call, and well try to deliver a bin
  within a couple of weeks.
