• UB Green has provided marked receptacles for plastic recycling at a number of recycling stations across campus. In most cases, these are co-mingled with metal and glass in green containers.
  
• Here in CTS, recycling stations have been established near the staff elevator and outside of the restrooms. Plastic bins are labelled for both bottles and cans which have a deposit. There is a third bin for all other recycleable metal, plastic and glass.
  
• These bins will be emptied as needed by members of the Recycling Team.
  
• NOT ALL PLASTIC is accepted for recycling. Please see the chart below for a list of recyclable and non-recyclable materials:

ACCEPTABLE	NOT ACCEPTABLE
only plastic beverage containers with screw-on caps milk jugs soap bottles	plastic bags, baggies (these can be recycled at local supermarkets) plastic plates plastic tableware wide-mouth plastic containers i.e. yogurt, cottage cheese, deli-style containers
