Recycling at Florida Tech

How to Recycle at Florida Tech

 

Single-Stream Recycling -

This includes all paper, plastics, metal/aluminum, and all glass and can be co-mingled in our blue recycling containers and dumpsters.  The only limit is the size and weight of the object. 

 

 

REMEMBER -   NO CARDBOARD (See Note Below) and NO FOODSTUFF

IN THE BLUE RECYCLING CONTAINERS AND DUMPSTERS!!!

 

Campus-Wide:  To do your part, look for the blue recycling containers with the International Recycling Logo and Toss It In!

 

  

Please use care and place your trash and recyclables in the proper containers!  Just a minor amount of the “No” items can cause the whole truck load of recyclables to be re-routed to the County Landfill!!!
