RECYCLING FOR A CLEANER
ENVIRONMENT
What Is Recycling?
Recycling involves three distinct steps,
represented by the three arrows of the
traditional recycling symbol: (1) the collecting
and processing of recyclable materials, (2) the
manufacturing of these materials into new
products, and (3) the purchase and use of
recycled-content products.
Procedure
Labeled recycling bins will be provided in the
hallways, offices, and public areas for
commingled beverage containers (cans/bottles)
and newspaper. When full or as needed, the
bins will be emptied by custodial staff members,
who will take the recyclables to the designated
service areas on each floor of the building. The
recyclables will then be collected from these
service areas and transported to on of the large
storage bins provided by Rapid Refuse Recycling.
Recycling
Costs
Recycling involves additional collection and
processing services for which our company will
pay a fee; however, a portion of this cost will be
offset by the sale of the recovered paper and
cans.
What Will We Recycle?
Commingled Containers:
Aluminum cans, glass bottles (all colors), plastic
bottles (1 & 2), and steel cans. Please empty
containers of all contents and remove plastic
lids and caps.
Office Paper:
Photocopy paper, letterhead paper, notebook
paper, computer paper, stationery, forms, white
business cards, envelopes, and newspapers.
Old Corrugated Cardboard:
Boxes and cardboard inserts that are multi-
layered with a “waffle” between layers. Please
remove all inside contents and flatten where
possible. This category includes paper bags.
Magazines and Catalogues: Glossy magazines,
glossy catalogues. NO phonebooks, junk mail,
coloured paper, etc. Call the Maintenance
Department for pickup of magazines and
catalogues if you have several full bins.
Computing and Electronics and Metals: A 30-
cubic-yard container will be provided at the far
end of our basement storage facility for
collection of scrap computers and parts,
electronics, metals, and steel.
