Trent University has a number of ways that students, staff and faculty recycle. Similar to the Blue Box program you use at home, our basic recycling system is separated into two categories: paper products and a container mix. It is extremely important that each type of recycling gets into the correct bin. In Trent's recycling program we accept the following:
Paper Products:
- newspapers
- magazines
- catalogues
- office paper
- fax paper
- note paper
- envelopes
- junk mail
- coffee cups (no lids)
- corrugated cardboard
- boxboard such as cereal boxes, facial tissue boxes, cracker boxes and laundry soap boxes
Containers:
- all plastic pop, water & juice bottles
- plastic yogurt, margarine & ice cream containers
- shampoo, detergent & soap bottles
- aluminum cans & foil
- all metal food containers
- cartons from milk, juice & drink boxes
- food & beverage glass (this means that you must have purchased a type of food or beverage in this glass)
