The SUNYIT campus is implementing single stream recycling in cooperation with the Oneida-Herkimer Solid Waste Authority (OHSWA) and will be following the Counties' RecycleOne - One and Done Program beginning Monday, August 18, 2014.

Collecting recyclables will be easier than ever! Here's how it works:

1. All recyclable items - paper, plastic, metal, and glass - should be mixed together loosely in one " RecycleOne" bin.

2. Recyclables can be collected in plastic bags, however they must be dumped loosely into recycling dumpsters with NO plastic bags, NO string, NO trash, and NO food.

3. The one exception to the "no bag" rule is: shredded paper may be collected in a clear plastic bag and placed in the RecycleOne dumpster.

OHSWA RecycleOne flyers will be 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 flyer is available  here.

Facilities staff are working to properly label RecycleOne bins and place a RecycleOne bin next to each trash bin throughout each campus building. In addition, OHSWA staff are working closely with Residential Life staff and Student Orientation leaders to implement this change successfully with the arrival of students for the Fall Semester.

Thanks for your support and cooperation during this exciting transition! More details will follow in the coming weeks.
