In dormitories and other housing units, collection systems vary depending on the age and design of the building. In general, each student in a dorm room is provided with an 8-gallon waste basket and a similarly sized recycling container. Each dorm floor has at least one central recycling room where materials are collected and stored. At the Hospital, in public access areas, newspaper and aluminum cans are collected. Office paper collection bins are available for offices.
Cardboard is collected and baled on site.
The student unions have a wide variety of collection containers for newspaper and mixed aluminum glass, tin, and plastic in public areas. Offices and food service areas are provided with receptacles to recycle office paper, cardboard, and mixed food and beverage containers. The following table details collection containers in academic buildings only. Details for student unions, hospital and housing units are not currently available. New container purchases may be for replacement due to theft or damage, or may represent placement in new facilities.
