 

        SCS joins in the campus-wide recycling effort as of today, April 1.
        Containers for paper, cans, and glass have been installed at all
        of the collection sites within Wean, Doherty, and FMRB.  An updated
        summary of the recycling procedures and the list of collection sites is
        reprinted below.  This information is available on-line in the
        directory /../g/usr/recycle/info.

        Unlike the DEC/5 paper drives held in the past, simply placing
	materials outside your door will not do the trick (except cardboard;
	more on that below).  It is up to individuals to transport recyclables
	from their workspaces to the collection sites on each corridor or
	floor.  All SCS offices and labs will receive a recycling container
	(blue plastic wastebasket-sized can, one per room) to accumulate
	recyclables in the workspace.  Even though these containers have not
	arrived yet, it should not be too difficult to start recycling in your
	office or lab today.  Many SCS personnel have been doing so for years.


Paper

        High-Quality Stream ($20 per ton)

                laser printer output
		copier output
		plain paper fax output

        Low-Quality Stream ($5 per ton)

                white/colored paper
                white/colored envelopes w/windows
                booklets/manuals
                fax/Telex copy paper
                adding machine tape
                carbonless forms
                self-adhesive notes/envelopes (including Post-Its)
                soft-covered books w/white pages
                greeting cards
                manila folders
                tab/time cards

        Note: Metal staples and paper clips do not have to be removed (for
	      either stream), although paper clips can be reused.

        Trash Stream (-$X per ton)

                glossy materials
                magazines, phone books, newspapers
                paper with food waste on it
                styrofoam or plastic items
                napkins, paper towels
                candy wrappers
                waxed items: cups, plates
                lunch or grocery bags
                brown/golden envelopes
                pizza boxes
                carbon papers
                hard-covered books
                binders
                photographic and blueprint papers

                Trash in a recycle box can cause tons of
                recyclables to be rejected by the recycler.
        
        The high-quality stream will be collected in cardboard boxes
        at the collection sites; the low-quality paper will be collected
        in large plastic barrels at the collection sites. 

Cans
        The procedure for recycling beverage cans will change only in that
        there will be many more collection sites throughout SCS facilities.
        Both aluminum and bimetal are acceptable.  All cans are to be placed
        in plastic containers at the collection sites.  BEVERAGE CANS ONLY!

Cardboard

        Currently, corrugated cardboard is collected, compacted, and thrown
        away.  In the near future, it will be recycled.  In either case, the
        procedure is to flatten the carton and leave it in the hall outside
        your office.  Make sure you remove any non-cardboard packing material
        such as styrofoam "peanuts".

Glass

        Glass recycling will continue as is, supported by an individual
        within SCS -- the campus-wide program does not support glass yet.
