Tips on Recycling

Update the signs in your building:

As of June 1, 2018, the City of Flagstaff announced that Flagstaff will no longer be recycling as many plastics as in previous years. Because NAU recycles the same materials as the City of Flagstaff, that means these new rules apply to NAU campus as well. For plastic, Flagstaff will now only recycle plastic bottles, jugs and jars. All other plastic must go to the landfill. (Plastic bags can be recycled at most grocery stores.)

Are the signs in your building are up to date? If not, please, 1) print out the attached posters, and 2) replace existing outdated signs. Thank you for your help with this transition!
