How to Recycle in Your Office

Mixed Recyclables

All offices should contain a small blue bin for recycling mixed recyclables. These bins are typically located near trash bins.  Please watch the brief video “How to Recycle Right” that clearly explains what goes in the blue bin.  Please watch and help us keep the recycling stream uncontaminated!

If you do not have a recycling bin in your office, please contact us at recycle@providence.edu or Ext. 1881. We will get you one ASAP!

Cardboard

Please break down and flatten any boxes you wish to get rid of and place next to your blue paper recycling bin, or put them in the hall outside your door. The cleaning company will take the cardboard out separately for recycling.

Office Clean-Outs

Are you doing an office clean-out? Instead of throwing away all that paper, we can provide you with large rolling recycling totes to recycle all of your paper.  Please call the Recycling Program at Ext. 1881 and we will arrange for a tote to be delivered to your office. When you have finished, just put the tote in the hallway and give us a call.  We will arrange for someone to come and take it away for you.
