Recycling

How to recycle at NCSSM:

• The present recycling contractor only requires that the materials be sorted into two categories; “paper products and containers”. 

-        There should be at least two recycling containers on every residence hall, staff office hall and near classrooms. 

-        One container is for paper products (no cardboard) and the other is for containers of all types.  It is not necessary to sort paper by color.  It is not necessary to sort containers; glass, plastic, and aluminum containers can be put in the same bin. 

-        Cardboard should be broken down and placed in the green dumpster located beside the other trash dumpsters.

• Each individual is responsible for placing their recyclable materials in the appropriate bin on their hall or work area.
• When full, indoor bins are to be taken to the outdoor bins located in “the pit” area near the cafeteria.  Students are responsible for the bins on their residence hall, while housekeeping is responsible for the remainder of the indoor bins.
• The outdoor bins are labeled “Paper Products” and “Containers.”  The bag of recyclable materials should be opened and dumped into the appropriate bin.  Unopened bags should not be set inside the containers.  The bin should then be closed.  If there is no available bin space, it is okay to place the sealed bag beside the outdoor bins. 
• The recycling contractor is responsible for emptying the outdoor bins on the designated day.
• Empty toner cartridges should be taken to central stores for recycling.
