Recycling Update
The Office of Sustainability has been working with Circular Solutions for the past few months to help improve Boise State’s recycling system. The Office of Sustainability is looking to revamp the recycling system by implementing new signage, bin design, custodial training, and recycling education. Most importantly, we are now accepting plastic: #1 or #2 bottles, jugs and jars. Are you interested in having someone talk to your class about recycling? Please contact Arie at arieweidemaier@boisestate.edu if you have any questions or would like to help with this effort.
What can I recycle at Boise State?
• Office paper, magazines, envelopes, junk mail, newspapers and phone books
• Clean cardboard without grease stains
• Metal cans
• Plastic: #1 or #2 bottles, jugs and jars
Non-recyclables
• Plastic bags or films, do not bag mixed recyclables
• Boxes made to go in fridge or freezer (butter or frozen food boxes)
• Thin, crinkly plastic water bottles or plastic clamshells containers
• Batteries
• Anything else!
IF IN DOUBT, THROW IT OUT!
What about glass?
You can recycle glass in our designated glass dumpster that is next to Selway Suites and the Fine Arts Building in Capitol Village. Do not put glass in the regular recycling bins or dumpsters.
