Recycling

Some recycling facts: Paper recycling is picked up every two weeks on Wednesdays but is picked up only from the white and orange bags in Room 116 and Room 227, not from the little recycling boxes left in some of the rooms.  Those little boxes need to be emptied into the bags. Paper for recycling from any other other room in the building needs to be brought to one of those two rooms to get picked up.  White paper (without labels or tape) goes in the white bags and mixed paper (white paper with labels or tape, colored paper, file folders, envelopes, junk mail, cardstock, newspaper, magazines, books, phonebooks, and copy paper wrappers) needs to go in the orange bags. 

Paper towels, napkins, cups and plates are not recycled at OSU.  In order to avoid making mistakes, the recycle people will not pick up anything that is not clearly marked for recycling.....sacks and boxes of paper will not be picked up even if they are set down next to the bags.  They will be picked up if they are clearly labeled "For Recycling." 

Cans and bottles can be recycled in the green recycle bin outside by the telephone booth to the south of Gilmore Hall on the east side of the building. 

Cardboard can be flattened and taken to the cardboard recycling cage located next to the parking lot on the south side of Gilmore Hall.
