Recycling Policy

Pick up dates and times, and any changes will be announced on this recycling home page.  We will attempt to announce any changes to the schedule at least one week in advance and will request that the Green & Gold post these changes as well.
 
If we missed your pick up or you need an extra pick up due to higher than usual levels of materials, because of an office move, or cleaning for example, please send an email to the Recycling Crew Director at uaa_recycle@uaa.alaska.edu
The recycling crew consists of students who have class schedules, notice as far in advance as possible will help us work an extra pick up into the recycling schedule.  We will try to be as flexible as possible and hope that with advance notice we will be able to coordinate your pick up needs..  However, we do not schedule extra pick-ups because your office was locked on the pick up date and the crew was unable to access your recycling bins.
 
We very much appreciate departments who call or email in advance and warn us that they have large amounts of material to be recycled.
 
It is our policy to provide departments with medium to large-sized bins at central collection locations.  Departments are required to provide bins for individual offices.
 
Recycling do’s and don’ts are posted on the recycling page and departments are requested to appropriately process their recycling If your batch of recycling includes a lot of trash, bottles and cans that are not emptied, or a lot of bottles with caps left on, the batch will be placed in the trash.  It only takes a few seconds and we all need to take responsibility for appropriately processing what we use.
