Recycling On Campus

Columbia College, in conjunction with the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, was able to expand our campus' recycling program in August 2006. The Recycling Program has outfitted all campus buildings with recycling bins. We utilize a Dual Sort recycling method: Blue for Paper and Green for Plastic/Aluminum/Glass

Please sort your trash and recycling.  When recycled materials are conataminated, they must be thrown out as trash.  Show your supportive by being conscious.

Dormitory Recycling
Please sort your recycling accordingly. Keep on top of your recycling so it doesn’t become out of control. Wash out all containers and bottles. This will help keep your rooms and the building clean and sanitary. We appreciate your support.

If you live in the 731 S. Plymouth Residence Center, you can find Paper, Glass, Plastic, and Aluminum recycling containers in the garbage storage area on each floor.

For our student residents at The Buckingham (59 East Van Buren) recycling receptacles are located on the first floor by the back door of the building. There are 2 contianers for paper, 1  for plastic and 1 for bottles.
