Enhanced Dual Stream Recycling Process

Over the 2009-2010 Academic year, CU Recycling has converted to a Enhanced Dual Stream (EDS) collection system campus wide.  Recycling Stations in all buildings should now be converted.  If your recycling bin signs have not been changed to "Containers" and/or "Papers", please contact: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Benefits of this collection system include:
•    consolidation of the types of recycling bins to 2 main grades (Containers and Papers)
•    a larger variety of plastics collected in the “Containers” grade (#1-#7 plastic bottles, tubs, and jars)
•    larger amounts of paper accepted in all “Papers” bins (any type of paper fiber)
•    increased ability to recycle low grade papers (magazines, phonebooks, paperboard)
•    increased ability to recycle all “Papers” in the desk side recycling bins
•    maintaining high quality paper fibers by keeping the containers separate
