UMW Academic and Administrative Building Recycling Program

Central collection containers are available in Academic and Administrative buildings for collection of Mixed Paper, Cardboard, and Co-mingled Plastic, Glass and Alumium.

Faculty, staff and students are responsible for placing recyclables into central collection containers on each floor.

Faculty and staff are provided At-Desk containers for personal collection of Mixed Paper. At-Desk containers may be requested through the Facilities Services Work Mangement System.

UMW Housekeeping staff empties central collection containers into Toters for collection by Landscape and Grounds staff.  Housekeeping staff supplies recycling bags for collection containers and by request for special projects.

Central Collection Containers are designated for Mixed Paper, Newsprint and Co-mingled Plastic, Aluminum and Glass. Labels are color coded as follows:

Mixed Paper = Red      Cardboard   = Brown

Co-mingled Plastic, Aluminum and Glass = Green
