The SUNY Poly Utica campus participates in single-stream recycling through the OHSWA RecycleOne: One and Done program. This means all recyclable items – paper, plastic, metal, and glass – should be mixed together loosely in one recycle bin.

OHSWA RecycleOne brochures (pdf) have been provided to each department or office to remind everyone what is and is not recyclable. Download a RecycleOne flyer suitable (pdf) for posting.
