Recycle all your plastic
bottles on campus. We recycle plastics that are #1 and
#2. You'll probably see those numbers on the bottoms of the items
although for some, it is hard to see. Basically all plastic
beverage bottles are a 1 or 2 . . . . all plastic soda and water
bottles, detergent containers, salad dressing bottles, oil, milk
jugs, etc. Unfortunately it does not include yogurt and butter
containers as they are a "5". For more info
email us at recycle@umd.edu.

Recycle all your paper on
campus. We recycle paper of any color and type (newspaper,
magazines, file folders, copy paper, junk mail, cardboard, etc.) If
you use the simple rule, "if it tears, recycle it" you will be
safe! You cannot recycle used paper towels, napkins and tissues.
Pizza boxes are recyclable as long as the leftovers are thrown away
first. It doesn't matter if there is a little bit of grease or
melted cheese on the cardboard. For more info email us at
recycle@umd.edu.
