Updated Mail Routes
As a result of continuing budget cuts, we have had to reduce staffing in the UAA mailroom,
eliminating one Mail Clerk position. To accommodate the change in staffing levels,
mail routes were revised so that we may continue to provide consistent and quality
service to our UAA community. The revised routes will go into effect July 6, 2016.
Although some departments previously received two stops per day, all departments will
not only receive ONE
stop per day.
Please feel free to contact our Seawolf Postal Express team at 786-1108 (uaa_gss@uaa.alaska.edu) or me directly at 786-4668

Turnaround time and file submission
Completion times for jobs depends on a variety of factors. The more organized and print-ready the file, the faster we can begin on your project. Other factors include whether it is a project that can run mainly on the machines with little or no handwork or finishing. Keeping job specifications within standard sizes and machine finishing will allow for your fastest turnaround times. Please take this into account when you are preparing your documents for a last minute deadline.
Average turnaround time on simple jobs (no design and little to no bindery/finishing) is 2 business days. Please note that some projects will be completed sooner and others may take longer based on the volume or complexity involved.We always provide free estimates including time to completion, upon request and we are able to accommodate rush jobs with an additional fee.
There is no way to set up a time table that encompasses completion times for all jobs. Time of the day the order is submitted, type of job, finishing and print readiness all affect the completion times on orders. The earlier in the business day an order is submitted the better the chance that the order will be completed in the time you need it.
Print-Ready Files
Having your project print ready will play a major role in how fast your job is completed. PDF files in high resolution are the fastest and most efficient method so we can begin printing your project immediately. Although we can handle Word, Publisher, PowerPoint and most graphics programs;a high resolution PDF file will allow us to begin on your project immediately. If you create your document in Word, Publisher or PowerPoint and use odd fonts, please include the fonts when submitting your order.Converting your color files from RGB to CMYK will ensure better color matching.

Printing Services Procurement Card Policy
The University of Alaska Anchorage operates a full-service Copy & Print Center on campus. In recent years, procurement card usage for printing services provided by outside vendors has increased while the quality and consistency of materials received has decreased. Greater utilization of the University's in-plant will allow departments to benefit from lower annual printing costs and will ensure proper oversight of the University's brand image and standards.
Additional information regarding the policy change can be found in the documents below.

The primary role of Surplus & Relocation is the temporary warehousing and distribution, sale, or other disposal of excess University property/equipment. This function provides a means for departments to obtain usable furniture and equipment without
additional purchase expense, for items not reused to be recycled or sold to recoup some of the value within the system, and for reduction of waste. In addition to the Surplus responsibilities, this function also provides internal relocation services to departments for small space moves.

Surplus/Property forms may be submitted via Docusign.
Surplus Property Disposition: Print and fax or drop off at GSS, or scan and email completed form to surplus@uaa.alaska.edu (Note: the email form option is currently not working correctly in the form)
Property Transfer: Enables the Property Office to remove tagged items from inventory. Required for any tagged item (on a department's physical inventory) to be taken by Surplus or transferred to any UA department.
Property Disposal Required for SALE of items. Department's may not sell University property without prior authorization to ensure all requirements are followed for allowable sale methods. Submit to Kim Stanford, Director, UAA General Support Services.

About Our Program
The recycling program began as a student run initiative in 2000. By 2003, recycling workers extended their service to create a university-wide recycling program, which continues to expand its services.
Our Recycling Efforts Continue to Grow
In fiscal year 2014 (July 1, 2013 -- June 30, 2014), the recycling crew picked up over 131 tons of mixed paper, almost 15.5 tons of cardboard, 4,152 pounds of plastics, 1,350 pounds of aluminum, 1,322 pounds of glass, and 454 pounds of metals. This resulted in a savings of $3,500 for the university.
We’re happy to share how much we have grown in our efforts, preventing huge amounts of waste from being discarded as trash. There are currently more than 285 recycle bins housed across campus. As shown in the table below, since FY09, we’ve diverted nearly 807,000 pounds of materials from the landfill!
Congratulations and thank you to all of our recyclers on campus!
please call 786-1129
- Recycling Policies & Proced
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 if you need an extra pick up due to higher than usual levels of materials (ex: because of an office move, cleaning, etc.), 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; therefore, 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 dont's 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.What can I recycle?
Staff & Faculty
Departments have pick ups for mixed paper, cardboard, aluminum & steel cans, batteries, and plastic bottles. Departments are asked to provide their own receptacles for cans & bottles and in individual offices.
Students
Public bins for mixed paper, cardboard, cans & plastic bottles are distributed throughout campus for your use.
How do I recycle it?
Mixed Paper & Cardboard
- Mixed paper includes white or color paper, glossy paper, junk mail, window envelopes, paper board (e.g. cereal boxes), gift wrap, paper egg cartons.
- Staples are ok
- DO NOT include milk or juice cartons/boxes, hardcover books, binder clips, or metal/plastic bindings
- Please flatten cardboard and place it next to your recycling bin for pick up
Cans
- Empty aluminum and steel food or beverage cans are accepted
- Please rinse off any food left on cans
- DO NOT include scrap metal of any kind
Plastic
- We accept #1 PETE & #2 HDPE bottles or jugs with a neck, plastic bags & stretch wrap.
- DO NOT include bottle caps, other numbered plastics, tubs (yogurt), cups, take out containers, or bottles which held chemicals.
Federal regulations now classify electronic circuit board containing equipment and computer monitors and television sets (Cathode Ray Tube, flat Light Emitting Diode or plasma) as regulated universal waste and landfills can no longer accept those items for disposal. UAA departments within the Municipality of Anchorage are required to deliver to or request pick-up of the items from Surplus Property (786-1959).
Effective immediately, Custodial Services will no longer pick the items up as trash. Surplus Property will arrange to recycle the items through licensed vendors and recyclers in accordance with the new regulations.
Community campuses should research local options and develop plans to assure proper recycling of electronic circuit boards and computer monitors and televisions. If you have any questions please go to http://ehsrms.uaa.alaska.edu/computerrecycling.htm -

*Please contact the Recycling Director at uaa_recycle@uaa.alaska.edu if an earlier pick up is necessary. While we try to accommodate special requests, our recycling crew is comprised entirely of students, and the recycling pick-up schedule is built around class schedules. Please remember that while recycle can be expected to be picked up on certain days, specific times are not promised. It is advised that all materials be ready and accessible at 8am on the scheduled day to ensure pick-up. Thank you for your cooperation!
- FAQ
Recycling FAQs
Do I need to separate my mixed paper or cardboard from the regular trash? Doesn’t the recycle crew do that before it goes to the landfill?The recycling crew is only able to collect from the recycle receptacles.
I have a separate box or bin full of recycling at my desk, why hasn’t the recycling team been by to pick it up?
Well, you're almost there. All you need to do now is take your personal bin to the nearest centrally located recycle bin. If your department doesn’t have a centrally located bin, please email uaa_recycle@uaa.alaska.edu or call 786-1108 to request a bin.
Can I recycle my plastic soda and water bottles, plastic bags, and food containers?
Yes, you can recycle plastic soda and water bottles, and plastic bags. The bottles must be #1 PETE bottles with neck and #2 HDPE jugs with neck. Also, you CAN recycle stretchy plastic film; however, you cannot recycle food containers. Avoid placing food containers in recycle bins as it will contaminate the entire bin.
Can I recycle used paper plates, cups, napkins, and towels? They’re made from paper right?
While it is true that these materials are generally made from paper, most of these items (once used) have food residue on them. For example, if pizza boxes have cheese or grease on the cardboard, they cannot be recycled.
How do I reach the UAA Recycle Program?
You can reach us by email at uaa_recycle@uaa.alaska.edu
Why doesn’t the recycling get picked up at night when the custodians do their regular maintenance?
The recycling team is made up of student employees so collection is done during the day.
Can I recycle coffee cups?
Unfortunately, no. Coffee cups come with a lining which inhibits it from being a recyclable material.
Can I recycle batteries?
Personal batteries such as AA can be taken to Total Reclaim. Batteries purchased for and consumed by UAA can be recycled at UAA. Just tape the anodes, collect in a box or plastic bag, and place them on or beside the nearest recycling bin.
Can I recycle glass?
Yes! For beverages or food items bought or consumed on campus, place the glass container in either bins designated for can or plastic recycling. The UAA Recycle Crew will sort it out for you!
Can I recycle books?
Yes; however, here are a few rules to keep in mind. Paperback books may be recycled and it's okay to keep both the front and back covers in tact. Hardcover books must have the front and back covers removed before recycling. Books that are bound must have the bindings removed before recycling.
