Reduce Junk Mail

There are many ways to prevent annoying junk mail from ever reaching your mailbox.

  • A great way is to go online to www.dmaconsumers.org, and click on the icon on the left-hand side that says "Take my name off those lists," (you can also get off telephone and e-mail lists while you're at it).
  • Another good way is to call the 1-800 number found on unwanted
    publications or write to them and ask them to remove you from their
    list.
  • To stop credit card solicitations, call 1-888-567-8688 (1-888-5OPT-OUT).
Green Printing

CU’s Printing and Copying Services operates six copy centers on campus with a long-standing commitment to "green printing". Among their offerings....

  • high post consumer content paper
  • recycled CU stationary and business cards
  • alternative, tree-free paper
  • alternatives to deep-dyed, neon or dark paper papers
  • print-on-demand capabilities

Why SHOULDN’T you use neon or dark paper?

  • They are not recyclable through CU and they take time to remove from current office pak recycling.
  • Neon and dark papers are made with harmful chemicals and heay metals like cadmium and arsenic that are leached into ground water and rivers!
Reusable Drives

CU Recycling encourages donations of usable goods to charitable causes. During residence hall move-out, we coordinate a donations program in each hall. If you are moving out at the end of finals, please make an effort to keep your unwanted belongings out of the landfill. There are many charitable organizations in Boulder that will gladly accept clothing, furniture, and appliances — we have published a list of some of them. You can also look in the phone book under charities, thrift stores, clothes-used, or furniture-used. Call for what they accept and drop-off times. Some offer pick-up services.

Office Cleaning

CU Recycling offers a number of special recycling services to campus offices who are cleaning, moving, or purging files.  From picking up your sensitive documents and providing confidential destruction to delivering extra recycling bins and procedural information for your office cleanup, our recycling services help you save time, lower disposal costs and provide environmental benefits.
