AS Sustainability has phased out cardboard recycling services and no longer offers pickup services. We only recycle personal E-waste and Inkjet/ Cartridges. Large cardboards should be flattened and recycled at campus bins nearest to your offices. Please contact PPM at (818) 677-2222 for questions about general recycling procedures and bin locations.
