Ramapo College Has Adopted Single-Stream Recycling

Recycling at Ramapo College is now easier than ever! Through the use of the Single-Stream Recycling program, we have eliminated the tedious and troublesome factors related to recycling. Time is no longer wasted by sorting recyclables and separate pick-up days. All materials collected for recycling are now non-sorted in one blue bin. In addition to ease of participation, this approach also delivers added efficiency by reducing vehicle miles for collection trucks and related tailpipe emissions.

Every classroom, lab, studio, office and event space is equipped with two containers.

The BLUE container, labeled “Single-Stream Recycling,” is for all accepted recyclables. These include select glass, plastics, metals, cardboard and paper.  Remember, all recyclables must be empty and free of liquids or food debris.

All other waste must be placed in the GRAY container, marked “Landfill”. This includes all food waste, contaminated recyclables and garbage.
