Single-stream recycling has been around for a long time at Simmons, but we only recycle about 20% of the waste we create on campus. Let’s see if we can increase that percentage this year!

Here are some tips for what and when you can recycle:

• Paper, plastic, glass, metal? Drop it all in the same recycling bin.
• Recycle everything right at your desk. Office suite and deskside bins are emptied twice a week.
• Almost everything at the Fens can go in the recycling bin, except food waste and plasticware. Think twice before dropping your plates and to-go containers in the trash!
• Single-stream is available at every recycling bin on campus, whether in a common area or in an office.
