Recycling

There are dozens of “bottle and can” recycling bins across campus. You can recycle aluminum, plastic, and glass bottles in these bins (look for the numbers 1-7 on the bottom of the bottle), as well as fairly clean plastic food containers (such as yogurt cups). For more information, see the Allied Waste Bottle and Can Recycling Guidelines.

There are several hundred paper recycling bins around campus. To see which paper products you can and cannot recycle at BCC, go to the CET guidelines here:  BCC Paper Recycling Guidelines

Here are the various types of bins you will find on campus: BCC Recycling Bins

All of this effort keeps us in practice for Recyclemania, a national competition in which college campuses compete to see who can out-recycle others. Last year BCC was 17th out of 266 colleges and universities!
