Waste/Recycling Bin & Dumpster services

Trash and recycling bins are located on almost every floor of every building on campus, and all recycling through these bins is single stream. Most buildings have recycling centers in public hallways where you can recycle mixed paper, cardboard, aluminum cans, glass bottles, and plastic #1, #2, & #5 containers.
