Still Time to Take Part in RecycleMania

RecycleManiasustainabilitySustainability Management

RecycleMania ends April 1, but that does not mean it is too late to help Syracuse University win the competition.

The University is a single stream recycling campus—meaning all of your recyclables can be tossed in one recycling bin, or in some instances in the two-bin system. Your recyclables are then sent to a recycling facility to be sorted, baled and sold to become items made from recycled content.

Not sure, what you can recycle? Quick tips to recycling:

Plastic items with this symbol on the bottom and a 1, 2, or 5 inside it:

  • bottle-necked plastic containers, beverages with a 1 or 2 on the bottom
  • plastic tubs containing a 5

Other recyclable items are:

  • beverage cartons such as milk, soymilk, orange juice, juice boxes, etc.
  • aluminum and tin cans
  • glass bottles and jars
  • paper and paperboard
  • cardboard (please flatten and place next to the bin)

Still unsure? Join Sustainability Management in Bird Library on Wednesday, March 21, from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. to learn about common items that should be discarded in the trash but end up in the recycle bin. Free cupcakes and cookies, until they are gone, will be given to everyone who stops in to learn more about recycling.
