UM wants to be at the forefront of better, cleaner recycling practices in our region – and with your help, we can get there! Soon, you will see new paper recycling signage in your copier area. Here's what you need to know:
- Take your clean office paper to the bin located in your copier area (either the tall blue bin or the grey rolling cart).
- Keep on recycling your empty cans, bottles, lightweight cardboard, and newspapers in your kitchen/lounge/hallway tall blue recycling bins – but NOT in the copier area, nor in the grey rolling carts.
For more information, please visit: miami.edu/recycle.
