Paper & Cardboard

You can recycle most clean paper products, including:

  • Newspapers, Magazines, Catalogs, etc.
  • Home Office Paper, Files, School Papers, etc.: shredded paper in brown paper bags only.
  • Junk Mail, Advertisements and Brochures
  • All Envelopes: window envelopes too!
  • Corrugated Cardboard: flattened, 2x4 feet maximum (Do not bundle or tie together)
  • Phone Directories and Soft-cover Books
  • Paper Boxes—cereal, cracker, soda, tissue, shoe, gift, toy, etc.: flatten box and recycle any plastic liners at grocery store with other plastic bags.
  • Pizza Boxes & Paper Egg Cartons: discard all contents and flatten.

Window envelopes: You can help the URMC reduce paper!  Every week, Clinical Laboratories sends out hundreds of white windowed envelopes containing lab results. Although the envelopes can be recycled along with many other varieties of paper, they are also perfect for reuse since nothing is typed or written on them.  Now you can return the envelopes to: Clinical Laboratories, Attn: Lauren Gallucci, Box 608.

You will help the department save money as well as doing your part to help save the planet!
