No Food, No Bags, No Liquids
China recently stopped accepting plastic products from other countries, creating a global plastic crisis. Athens Hocking Recycling Center can no longer accept plastic bags and film plastics as a recycled product. In order to lessen the usage of plastic bags, Campus Recycling is asking for the public to stop using plastic bags and start bring your own bags.

Be smart and reuse, reduce, recycle.
Easier than Ever
Mixed Recycling: Ohio University and Athens City have gone Single-stream -- a newer and more efficient method than previous practices.
