New recycling information for shredders
Does your office have a shredder? If so, here is some new recycling information you need to know.
When your shredder is full, what do you do with the paper? If you empty the shredding into a black plastic bag or into the blue recycling bags, it is considered trash and gets thrown out.
In order for us to be better stewards, custodial services is beginning a new program of providing rolls of clear bags for this purpose. When the bag gets full just pull them out, tie them off and place to the side. Then your custodial cleaning crew will be able to collect these bags as recycling and place them in the appropriate bin for pickup.
If your shredder does not currently have any plastic bags, please e-mail custodial at dastlefo@georgefox.edu and we will be sure you get some to you quickly. If you have additional questions about what is recyclable, follow this link to the recycling page on the university’s website.
