(Tufts owned only) Academic and Administrative Buildings Recycling bins for cardboard & paper and bottles & cans are located throughout all of the academic buildings at Tufts. Please make sure to put the correct items in the correct container. Sorting the recyclables is not the responsibility of the custodians; that is up to you! Bins are emptied once per week or when full.
OneSource provides formal recycling training sessions to its employees. Yet it might be that your custodian has not been sufficiently educated or sensitized about recycling. If you suspect that your custodian throws recycling away, collect specific information and call X73947. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Facilities Department has a variety of basic recycling bins to fit most office spaces. Sorry, we do not
provide trash bins. The only exception is when we situate a three bin recycling station which includes a trash receptacle.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please
flatten cardboard and place behind a recycling bin! Thanks!
Learn more about Paper Consumption and Recycling At Tufts, mixed paper is collected by Conigliaro Industries, in Framingham. Conigliaro ships the paper to processing plants where it is used to make new paper products. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The custodians empty the recycling bins once a week or when full.

(Laser cartridges are handled differently, click here to learn more.) Recycling interns collect the bins bi-weekly.
Learn More About Batteries and Battery Recycling ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Computers As newer and better technologies hit the market monthly, millions of computers are rapidly becoming obsolete. Electronics, especially computers, are a very problematic waste stream. Tufts Staff & Faculty Recycling sorry, we cannot recycle student computers. Students, click here Before computers with a Tufts I.D. tag number can be picked up by Facilities for recycling, a "change of status" needs to be reported to Finance. Please report change of status by emailing the tag numbers to: edward.fanikos@tufts.edu. The email subject line should read "change of status". Most computers at Tufts no longer have tags on them. In this case, you do not need to report a change of status. To schedule a recycling pick up, please fill in a "no fee" service request on the Facilities website: http://www.tufts.edu/central/facilities Tufts old computers are either reused internally or recycled domestically by Veolia Environmental Services. No computer equipment from Tufts is sent overseas. Sorry, Tufts Facilities Department can only recycle equipment owned by the university. Luckily, there are many computer end-of-life options for students and community members.
Before donating your computer, check out Tech Soup’s tips for donation.

Up to 75 – 80 mattress from Tufts are recycled in a calender year. Mattresses in good condition are donated to local area shelters.
