and Cardboard
Residence halls have a recycling station outside the
dorm, or a recycling and garbage room on every floor. Follow
this link for the location of the recycling facilities
available at each residence hall.
Residence hall recycling stations are now accepting
paper and plastic bottle & aluminum cans. Look
for them outside Monroe, Sharp, Paterson, Butler, Phelps,
Warren, Willow, Irby, Aron and Mayer,
and in the first floor recycling room in Wall.
The recycling rooms on each floor of Willow, Mayer,
and Wall Residence currently accept paper and
plastic bottles & aluminum cans. J.L., the Mod
Quad and
the
Papillon Apartments have paper recycling
toters near their building.
Guidelines for Materials

paper, newspaper, magazines, envelopes and folders. No bound
books or food containers.
Plastic bottles & aluminum cans We
are now able to collect plastic bottles and aluminum cans
mixed in the same recycling bin. All plastic containers

bags. Aluminum beverage cans only.

Ink Cartridge Recycling Now Available
Collection boxes for ink cartridge recycling are located
at the Residence hall front desks (Monroe,
Butler, Sharp, Mayer, Willow, JL, Wall Residence, Paterson,
Warren), the Housing and Residence Life Office,
the Willow Computer Labs, and on the second
floor of Alcee Fortier Hall. The proceeds
these collection boxes will go towards the Steven
Spring Foundation, a nonprofit organization in New Orleans
founded in October of 2005. Their mission is to provide
instruments and music lessons to the children of New Orleans.
They have expanded their role recently to form bonds with
New Orleans schools to help their music programs.
