UNCG’s recycling guide provides guidance on what can and can’t be recycled on campus and lists drop-off locations for items like plastic bags, batteries, and ink cartridges that are collected separately from the general commingled stream. Always be sure to empty your cups and clean food containers before placing them in the recycling bin. If you have questions about recycling write to: recycle@uncg.edu
If you live within the Greensboro City Limits and have recycling in your place of residence be sure to download the GSO Collects app in the Google Play or Apple stores. Use the app’s Waste Wizard feature to learn if an item can be recycled or not - type in an item, like “coffee cup,” and it’ll tell you. There are some differences between what the City and UNCG collect, so be sure to study both recycling guides.
