Do's and Don'ts of Single Stream Recycling: PAPER
As a reminder, the SUNYIT campus is now following 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 flyers have been provided to each department or office to help everyone understand what is and is not recyclable under the new RecycleOne: One and Done Program. A link to the RecycleOne flyer is available here.
