Campus Recycling and Waste Management
Campus Recycling Information
Beginning Academic Year 2016-17: Single Stream Recycling at RWU!
What is Single Stream Recycling? Single Stream Recycling means that you no longer have to separate your commingled recyclables (small glass, plastic, and metal items) from your paper recyclables - they can all be placed TOGETHER into ANY commingled or paper recycling container!
Every commingled and paper recycling container on campus is now a "Single Stream Recycling Container" for paper and commingled! Recycling has become easier than ever!
Please note that cardboard is not part of the single stream recycling program -- please continue to flatten all boxes and place them next to your trash or recycling container.
