SUNY Poly has adopted the OHSWA RecycleOne: One and Done program. ALL recyclable items – paper, plastic, metal, and glass – should be mixed together loosely in one recycle bin.
So what is recyclable?
RecycleOne flyers have been distributed to help everyone understand what is and is not recyclable under the new RecycleOne program. The RecycleOne flyer is also available here.
