Stonehill College Recycling Program

The concept is simple: recycling turns materials that would otherwise become waste into valuable resources.

Recycling is a great way to help the environment, and Facilities Management is greatly interested in assisting, but we can not do it alone.  We must have the cooperation of students, faculty, and staff.

We have seen much sucess since the inception of the Recycling Program on October 10, 1991.  We are constantly working to expand the program to make it as effective as possible.  Currently we recycle the following items cans, plastic & glass bottles (5-cent redeemable soft drink cans), Paper & Co-mingled Containers (tin food cans from the Dining Commons & non-redeemable plastic bottles), batteries, cell phones, computer/electronic equipment, fluorescent tubes (light bulbs), inkjet & laserjet ink cartridges and waste oil.
