Single-Stream Recycling Information
Single-stream recycling allows users to mix newspaper, magazines, phone books, junk mail and office paper along with plastic bottles, milk jugs, glass bottles and jars, metal beverage and food cans, cereal boxes and other clean and dry cardboard into St. Olaf's single-stream recycling bins. Large cardboard items will continue to be placed in the large cardboard recycle containers located outside each building. Recycle bins are located in all buildings on campus. Custodians are responsible for emptying the bins into the large recycle containers located outside each building.
Do not put the following materials into the single-stream recycle bins:
-
Liquids
-
Food Waste
-
Waxed Paper
-
Fabric
-
Wood
-
Styrofoam
-
Plastic Bags
-
Broken Glass
-
Ceramics
-
Mirrors
-
Light Bulbs
The convenience of single-stream recycling greatly increases participation and recovery rates, resulting in the recovery of up to 30% more recyclable materials. Single-stream also allows for efficient fleet utilization and route optimization by cutting down on specialized recycling collection vehicles and allowing greater material compaction. Over time, this reduces the energy required during the collection of the material through greater payloads and a "one route, one truck" collection methodology.
St. Olaf's teams are most often known as the "Oles", as in "Ole and Lena." (If you have to ask, you're not from around here.) In the past they were, and officially still are, the more ferocious sounding "Lions". We may have the most non-ferocious fight song in the land. Click on "Um, Ya, Ya" and sing along, in waltz time please, with our Academic Computer Center staff.
!!! Um, Ya Ya. !!!
Go Oles!
