In the blue bin you can place all non-confidential paper documents, cardboard, most plastics and bottles & cans. The mini-bin is for trash and is significantly smaller to remind you that nearly anything can be recycled and deposited into your blue recycling bin as long as it has not been contaminated by food products. Please wash out your plastics. The University also recycles tires, toner & ink cartridges, e-waste, inert materials like concrete and clay, all its green waste and wood and a wide variety of metals too! To ensure these materials are recycled, Sac State offers these services free for the campus community. If you have any questions about recycling, please feel free to contact Joey Martinez, Recycling Coordinator at (916) 278-5801. To recycle batteries, please contact Environmental Health and Safety: (916) 278-5447. Happy Recycling Sac State! Energy Conservation The University strongly promotes and practices energy conservation whenever practical and feasible. We attempt to maintain a balance between occupant comfort and energy saving strategies. Over the years this concept has kept utility costs at a minimum, thus providing the ability to redirect the savings to educational programs. The campus Energy Policy explains a number of strategies used to minimize energy consumption. Please contact Nat Martin, Energy Conservation Coordinator at (916) 278-3696 for questions.
