What can I recycle In dormitories?

• Students receive blue recycling baskets (fig. 1) to collect their own paper and empty cans and bottles
• Each dorm has large central bins in which students may recycle paper and cardboard (fig. 3) and cans and other beverage containers
• Students take the paper recycled by the dorm to one of 12 blue dumpsters (fig. 4)(labeled for paper and cardboard) on campus as part of their dorm responsibilities
• Staff from the office of physical plant collect the recycled paper from the dumpsters weekly and transport it to a materials recovery facility (MRF) in Lawrence, MA.
• Students recycle plastic, glass and cans in the Town of Andover Recycling Collection described in "Where to Recycle"

What can I recycle In offices and classrooms?

• Faculty and staff collect paper to be recycled in red deskside recycling bins (fig. 2) and empty those bins into the yellow department recycling bin near the department copier (fig. 3).
• Staff from the office of physical plant collect the recycled paper from the yellow department bins and empty it into the blue dumpsters (fig. 4) which are collected weekly.
• Arrangements can be made for collection of plastic and glass from the staff lounge in some large administrative buildings, as needed. Call Becky Bogdanovitch at ext. 4730 if interested.
• Batteries may be recycled in the pails labeled "Battery Recycling" located in the lobby of Commons and the GW student mailroom.

What about recycling In Commons?

• Students are asked to take no more than they will eat to minimize waste.
• The food service places napkins on the table, rather than in the serving line, since experience shows this cuts napkin usage by more than 50 percent.
• Cardboard is loaded into the cardboard baler (fig. 5) and compressed to be recycled.
