For Students
Below is a list of materials 澳门六合彩官网直播 currently recycles with our Single Stream Recycling system, and some common materials we do not accept. Recycling can go into one container, and no longer needs to be sorted.
Keep in mind that we collect recycling generated on 澳门六合彩官网直播 campuses. Recycling generated off-campus should be redirected to the or your local area.
Remember, when in doubt, throw it out! To reduce possible contamination, if you are unsure if something is recyclable throw it in the trash.
