SUSTAINABILITY:• Meeting current social and economic needs without

compromising environmental resources for future generations.• Recycling is a visible part of being sustainable.

Participation is recycling is a building block for promoting sustainable development on campus.

Do you recycle already?

Rules Change:• Every place has slightly different

rules and restrictions for recycling. • As recycling technology evolves, the

system for recycling also changes.

How many of you recycle at home?

I want to clarify current rules for recycling at SLU.

Recycling is collected in blue receptacles with blue liners.

Waste Management empties the dumpster and delivers the contents to a RockTenn Recycling Center.

RockTenn recycles SLU’s paper, metal, plastic and glass.

Blue bags of recycling go into a dumpster with a yellow lid.
