PAPER RECYCLING
All building occupants in UB academic buildings should have a blue recycling container and a black "trash buddy" which clips to the recycling bin. The recycling container is for waste office paper which is clean and uncontaminated by food waste, tissues, trash, etc.
The recycling bin and trash buddy should be emptied on a regular basis by UB or contract cleaning staff who are obliged to keep these waste streams separate. Cleaners are required to place paper collected for recycling in recycling bins on building loading docks. Trash goes into a dumpster. If you see cleaners mixing waste streams, please contact Bill Bagley (645-5958) or the UB Green Office (829-3535). Also call us if you need an under-the-desk recycling bin and/or trash buddy.
Paper can also be recycled in academic buildings at all public area recycling stations.

BEVERAGE CONTAINERS
Beverage containers can now be recycled at UB at public area recycling stations. Over one hundred stations have been established at various locations on both campuses. Please do not remove bins from these locations.
