Where and How to Recycle in Your Dorm
Providence College provides resources for recycling various types of recyclable items in all Residence Halls. Such items include mixed paper, bottles and cans, and corrugated cardboard. (For a complete listing of such items, please click here). Because the residence halls may differ in size and configuration, procedures for recycling in each hall also differ. Procedures for recycling in your building are detailed below. Please do not hesitate to notify your Hall Director or Residence Assistant (R.A.) should you have any questions or concerns regarding recycling in your building. Any other questions can be forwarded to the PC Recycling Program via email recycle@providence.edu.
Recycling your cardboard boxes. Break down and flatten any cardboard boxes you wish to recycle. Place them in the trash room on your floor, near a recycling tote, but not in the trash barrels. Corrugated cardboard only! Thin cardboard, like cereal boxes, go in the “Mixed Recyclables” tote. The cleaning company will take the cardboard out separately for recycling.
