Recycling at Hamilton College

Welcome to Recycling at Hamilton College!

We hope this site will foster not only awareness of our recycling program, but also pride and interest in its maintenance and improvement.

Hamilton's Recycling Task Force is holding the first annual Cram 'n Scram sale of collected dorm furnishings on August 26-27 from 10-4 in North Lot.  If you need a futon, fridge, or anything else for your dorm room, come check it out!

All information on this website can be accessed via the links in the left column.  For information on what you can recycle, please click here.  For current Recycling Task Force projects, please click here. 

Let us know how we can make this system work better for you! Questions, comments, and suggestions can all be directed to:

FACT:

  • Hamilton pays $79.95 for every ton of garbage we produce in the community, but disposing of recyclables is free.

TIPS:

  • The container group include plastics #1-6 (look on the bottom of most containers for the recycling symbol).
  • Cups from McEwen and the Diner are not recyclable!  Commons cups are recyclable if they are rinsed out.
  • Use the blue bin in your room or office to make recycling easier.
  • Use a travel mug or water bottle instead of paper cups.
