Not all of BUMC’s university offices are located in buildings managed directly by the university.\u00a0 In these cases, recycling works a bit differently depending on the property manager of the specific facility.\u00a0 Below are the guidelines for recycling in a number of the prominent facilities on BUMC that are not managed by the university.\u00a0 This information is also cross-linked at the BUMC Facilities Management recycling page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Crosstown Building, 801 Massachusetts Avenue<\/a><\/h3>\n

Corrugated cardboard is already recycled, along with paper goods.\u00a0 After discussion with our waste hauler, Jet-A-Way, we are going single stream for paper based goods and a separate container for glass and cans.\u00a0 This is an economic decision as the rebates for paper and cardboard is $0 right now, (Down from $70 a ton in May).\u00a0 We will be instituting this in the next couple of weeks and modify as appropriate.\u00a0 Building users will be notified via BU Control, memo\u2019s and SPH\u2019s website.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This program in Crosstown is run by Corcoran Jennison.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We have placed a large,\u00a010-yard, dark green dumpster in the\u00a0big parking lot at 560 Harrison Avenue to receive recycling items.\u00a0 It is labeled SAVE – THAT – STUFF.\u00a0 Be careful because it looks like the other dumpsters which are for garbage.\u00a0 If you would like to recycle, please take your items\u00a0to that dumpster \u2014 the dumpster has a lock but will be open from 7:00am until 9:00pm.\u00a0 If you have a nightly cleaning service, please make sure they understand the procedure.\u00a0 Please also note that plastic bags are not accepted<\/span>, so please make sure everyone, including your cleaners, understand that they cannot put those in the recycle dumpster. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

I am attaching a list of items that can and cannot be put in the recycling dumpster \u2014- please consult it and keep it posted for reference by everyone in your office.\u00a0 Very important: all recycled items must be cleaned of food waste<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Boston Medical Center Space (various facilities)<\/h3>\n

The recycling program at the Boston Medical Center (BMC) is currently run through a different vendor than Boston University’s program.\u00a0 BMC uses a dual-sort program: large 96-gallon green totes are used for recycling all paper recyclables, while bottles, cans, and other co-mingled recycling material goes into smaller bins.<\/p>\n

To find out where the closest BMC tote is to your office, contact the Housekeeping Staff through the main switchboard at 617-638-8000.<\/p>\n
