Paper Recycling

In most public and common spaces, paper products are collected for recycling in multi-stream bins. Offices and administrative areas have blue bins for paper collection. Important: Paper placed in these bins is not shredded. Confidential material should be shredded (see below).

Types of paper collected include: 

• Office paper
• Magazines 
• Posters & Flyers 
• Newspaper 
• Books, note pads 
• Boxboard (microwave dinner boxes, cereal boxes, etc.) 
• Paper bags 
  
  Note: Paper towel and napkins are not accepted in paper recycling bins. Place them in garbage bins.

 
Secure Shredding 

Memorial University facilitates a secure shredding service for documents with sensitive or confidential information through a third party contractor.
