What can be recycled?
The five materials being recycled on MSU’s campus are: white paper, mixed paper, newspaper, cardboard and plastics.
The cutting edge
Recycling in E.L.
Tin, steel and aluminum cans, as well as glass (brown and clear) and #1 (pop bottles) and #2 (milk jugs) plastics can be recycled on and off campus.
Where can you recycle?
