CAN & BOTTLE RECYCLING GUIDELINES
(for a printable copy to post above your recycling area click here)

Where:  Recycle cans & bottles in the green barrels labeled for can and bottle recycling that are located outside every building on campus.  Please see the list of locations to find the recycling station nearest to you.

What:   All beverage containers including glass bottles, plastic bottles, aluminum cans.  Also many food packaging containers should be placed in the green barrels including aluminum foil, steel cans (soup cans), glass jars (mayonnaise jars), plastic tubs (yogurt containers, margarine containers) that are labeled #1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 7.

What to do with everything else?
· Sheets of glass (windows, picture frame inserts) may be accepted by BRING Recycling or Aurora Glass. 
· Other glass items (vases, cups, bowls) should be reused or donated to Goodwill, Saint Vincent de Paul or another reuse outlet.
· Any plastic labeled #6, plastic lids, and any plastic item that is not a tub or a bottle regardless of the number label should be reused or placed in a garbage can.  Recycling for these items is not available in Lane County.
· Scrap metal items that are not aluminum foil, aluminum or steel cans, should be placed in the scrap metal bin that is located to the east of Building 9.

How: Please empty, rinse, and remove lids from cans, bottles, jars, and tubs.  Metal lids may be placed in the cans & bottles container.  Plastic lids should be placed in a garbage can.
