Think outside the bin - how to recycle special materials at OSU

COVID-19 UPDATES:

Effective July 6th, regular recycling collection resumed on an every-other-week basis at some OSU buildings and remains on call (i.e. requires a pick-up request) at others. To find out when your next recycling pickup will be, visit our Pick-Up Schedule page and follow the directions at the top of the page in red.
We are continuing to collect cardboard on a regular schedule.
For those living and working on campus, please support our workers who handle our recycling and trash by ensuring recyclables are completely emptied of liquids and only accepted items are placed in recycling receptacles. When it doubt, please throw it out. Thank you for doing your part!
Please call the OSU Materials Management Warehouse at 541-737-7347 on weekdays 8 am - 4 pm if you have any questions.

Campus Recycling develops and maintains a cost effective and efficient waste management program that focuses on reducing, reusing and recycling with trash disposal as a last resort.
