12-Point Plan
As education within the recycling industry grew, the Northeastern program was expanded to include most recyclable material including the following:

• Mixed paper
• Corrugated cardboard
• Plastic
• Bottles
• cans
• Laser toner cartridges
• Batteries
• Composting & mulching
• Fluorescent lightbulbs and ballasts
• Scrap metal
• Electronics
• Carpeting

Visit the recycling guidelines page for information about recycling procedures.


"Closing the Loop"
It is important to remember that recycling is a "closed loop process." Complete success happens when materials are recycled and reused. It's one thing to put your recyclables in the proper containers, however the true recycler also tries to buy products made from recycled materials. These products include paper for copiers and fax machines as well as other office supplies with recycled contents. If we don't buy recycled products the market will disappear, as would recycling.
