Enlightened leadership and strong staff and volunteer support have made Indiana University's Bloomington Campus's recycling program one of the best in the nation. To maintain this excellent program and make the extra effort required to meet more stringent federal guidelines for the year 2001, IU needs your help. We encourage everyone to participate and help us be a leader in preserving the environment. If trash is placed in recycling containers it contaminates the entire container and makes it unrecyclable. IU is only paid for properly sorted paper.
White paper is the most valuable.
But please remember to remove any kind of paper clip or fastener for reuse. They can cause eye injuries at the recycling center. Place paper and envelopes with labels in mixed paper containers. Although this takes a few extra seconds, it greatly helps our recycling effort. These wrappers contain a glossy substance that cannot be recycled and should be thrown away.
