As of now, UCCS will recycle these items: <\/p>\n
\u2022 MIXED PAPER \u2013 \u201cLet it Rip\u201d program \u2013 Almost everything that <\/p>\n
rips is eligible in one bin. All types of paper including office <\/p>\n
paper, shredded paper, newspapers, mail and more. <\/p>\n
\u2022 MIXED CONTAINERS \u2013 All aluminum, steel and tin <\/p>\n
Containers, glass bottles, aerosol cans, and plastic <\/p>\n
bottles (Numbers 1 and 2 only) in one bin. <\/p>\n
\u2022 CARDBOARD \u2013 We hope to add more pickup locations in the <\/p>\n
near future. Please break down all boxes and let Keith <\/p>\n
Woodring know locations we need to add containers. <\/p>\n
Program Details <\/p>\n
. All offices will receive a small blue, deskside recycling can that will match the size of your <\/p>\n
current trash can. These will be for mixed paper only. Trash cans are for non-recyclable <\/p>\n
materials only. For now, office occupants will be responsible for taking paper recycling (in <\/p>\n
deskside recycling cans) as well as any mixed containers, to the closest recycling bins (blue 50gallon roll carts), usually at the end of the hall. At this time, please do not ask custodial staff to <\/p>\n
handle your recyclables. <\/p>\n
. Large Blue Recycling bins (50 gallon roll carts) for both paper and mixed containers will be <\/p>\n
added where necessary in buildings. These need to be visible and convenient for users and will <\/p>\n
often need to be located in hallways. Stairwells are not an appropriate location for these <\/p>\n
containers. Please work with the Grounds Department and the Office of Sustainability to find <\/p>\n
suitable locations in your buildings. We will work to ensure that these containers are clean with <\/p>\n
attractive signage to provide a professional appearance. In some cases, a built-in recycling <\/p>\n
station may be appropriate and requested. Please contact Keith Woodring with these requests. <\/p>\n
. This program is still under development and it may take up to a month to get all of the <\/p>\n
necessary bins in place. Please be patient and know that we are working as fast as possible to <\/p>\n
make this program successful. <\/p>\n
. The recycling program will be a partnership between the Grounds Department and the Office <\/p>\n
of Sustainability, with cooperation from the Custodial Staff, and most importantly all of the <\/p>\n
UCCS community. Your suggestions for improvements are most welcome. Contact Keith <\/p>\n
Woodring 492-4608, or Linda Kogan lkogan@uccs.edu. <\/p>\n
With your help, we will have a successful recycling program. <\/p>\n
Please assist in getting recyclable items to their proper receptacles and encourage <\/p>\n
students to do the same. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
