BGSU's Recycling Program

BGSU offers single-stream recycling throughout campus, meaning all recyclables go into the recycling bin and non-recyclables go into the landfill bin. Recyclables include office paper and newspaper, plastics bottles, cardboard, aluminum and steel cans, and glass bottles! Follow the guidelines provided on the signage to help ensure items are placed into the correct bin.
