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 (pdf) have been provided to each department or office to remind everyone what is and is not recyclable.
