What to Recycle
Recycling in dorms and academic buildings includes cardboard, plastic, newspaper, magazines, office paper, glass, and aluminum.

Electronic waste is recycled through a local recycler, and printer cartridges are given to local elementary schools to use in their fundraising efforts.

Send your used ink cartridges via campus mail to Chris Bair at the Facilities Management building. The cartridges will be divided between two local schools who have asked for the college's help; they turn the cartridges in to be recycled and in return get cash for each cartridge!
