You may empty paper directly into the dumpsters and it will be recycled by Conigliaro Industries. These dumpsters are located in major parking lots and other areas throughout campus. There are no small commingled containers since, in comparison to paper, the quantity is much smaller making it unnecessary to purchase an additional 2,000 bins. Adding another bin also adds clutter. If containers are not rinsed on a regular basis, they will smell and attract bugs.
Commingled bins accept all glass, plastics, and metals.
All materials must be emptied and rinsed prior to being placed in a bin. Click here for the DOs and DO NOTs of Recycling . Rinsing the containers before placing them in the commingled bin removes food waste which attracts pests, creates smells, and contaminates the materials. Commingled bins must have clear plastic bags to collect materials in order to make recycling of these materials easier for the recycling company and to also keep the bins clean. Also, clear bags allow the recycling company to see what materials are being recycled and if there is heavy contamination, the bag will be thrown away.
