The program requires separating the various kinds of recyclables including metal, glass, rigid plastic, and beverage cartons. Receptacles marked "Metal, Plastic, Glass, & Cartons" are generally found in hallways, pantries and dining and food-preparation areas. If you need more receptacles, please submit a service request.
Metal such as piping, appliances and furniture that's too large for the bins may be recyclable as scrap metal. Scrap metal is removed by Operations staff. A service request may be required for removal of large items.
Glassware from laboratories is recyclable through a separate recycling program and may not be placed in receptacles designated for "Metal, Plastic, Glass, & Cartons."
