Office Paper & Junk Mail

Most office paper generated in a typical office and school setting can be recycled. A general rule of thumb, "if you can rip it, you can recycle it" holds true with a few exceptions. Any paper that has come in contact with food or human body cannot be recycled. Office paper can be recycled in any bin located throughout hallways, offices, residence halls, computing centers and building lobbies.
