Corrugated Cardboard Recycling
The corrugated cardboard recycling program provides an additional recycling option for cardboard so it does not consume valuable space within small recycling bins. This service is provided by Waste Management Company.
Generators of cardboard in buildings are solely responsible for placing them in green dumpsters at the loading dock and not custodial staff.
Accepted items
Note: Remove all contaminants (e.g., Packing peanuts, Styrofoam, shrink wrap, and other such contaminants, and break down cardboard prior to placing in collection bins.
- Corrugated Cardboard (i.e., "waffle" layer sandwiched between two outer layers of paper)
Not accepted
- Waxed boxes (e.g. meat boxes)
- Boxes with food residue, oil, or similar contaminants (e.g. pizza boxes)
- Chipboard/wetboard and other non-corrugated paper products - see Single Stream Recycling
Bin Locations
Corrugated cardboard recycling is available at certain building locations on campus. Each location in the program has a designated collection bin (wired) or green dumpster (2 yard or 6 yard), typically on the loading dock at back side of building.
Collection Dates
Pick Up Schedule: Weekly pickups vary per building depending on the recycle volume. High volume buildings have collections multiple times per week. Low volume buildings may not have a collection point at that building and may be directed to move their cardboard to a higher volume building collection point.
To request a one-time pickup: Complete a Cardboard Pickup Request.
To have your building reviewed for Cardboard Recycling: Contact Recycling Services.
