Recycling

Recycling

We recycle metal, plastic, paper, gift wrap, and all other items accepted in Monroe County. No need to separate items, since the county uses single-stream recycling. Bookmark this Monroe County guide for a quick and easy reference. 

Nazareth's Information Technology Services created an online IT project request system, which replaced a paper process and saves hundreds of sheets of paper each budget season.

The finance department's budget process went paperless in 2009.

Print management is enforced to reduce toner waste and improve the monitoring of paper use.

100% of landscaping materials are recycled right on Naz’s campus. 

The Dining Commons is tray-less and composts 100% of waste.
