Recycling
in UVM residence halls is easy and convenient for all students. Every
student room is provided with a recycling box. (The box is
considered part of the room inventory and should be left in the room at
year's end for new students to use next year). Recycling guidelines are
printed on the box and posted througout the hall. Students can
use the box to keep paper, cans and bottles separated from other trash.
Students are responsible for removing their own trash and recycling
from their rooms, and bringing material to the central collection
carts. Most buildings have recycling and trash carts at the end of each
hallway on every floor, or in the lounge or basement. Recycling carts
are no more than 20 
steps
from every student’s room. Now THAT’S convenient!
In each location, the carts are marked for either "Recycling” or “Trash.” Please be sure to put items in the proper cart. If too much trash is mixed in with the recycling, then it will be considered contaminated and it cannot be sent to the recycling facility.
Corrugated cardboard and pizza boxes CAN be recycled! Boxes must be emptied and stacked neatly on the floor next to the Recycling Cart. (No pizza crusts, napkins, or plastic box liners, please.)
Each day, the Residential Life Housekeeping staff carry the trash
and recycling down to the loading dock. (Be sure to thank them for
helping to recycle!) UVM Recycling staff collect the materials from
there.
