Recycling

Illinois Central College is committed to producing an environmentally sound campus by reducing the amount of waste sent to the landfill, promoting the reuse of materials that once would have been thrown out, and recycling as many items as possible.

What can be recycled

How can you help?

On average ICC recycles 47 tons of materials each year but we are unable to do it without the help of the students and staff. Here are some tips to help you help us!

Paper Recycling

“Paper Only” recycling bins have been conveniently placed in the hallways throughout the three campuses. It's the staff’s responsibility to empty their desk-side container into the larger bin in the hall.

Cardboard

Break the cardboard down and leave it in the hallway for pick up. If you will have an excess amount of cardboard, please call ext. 101A for a special pick-up.

Toner Cartridges

The bin to recycle Hewitt Packer toner cartridges is located on the first floor of the East Peoria Campus near Room 104, or send it in Campus Mail to 101A and we will take care of it. Konic Minolta toner cartridges go to the Mail Room to be sent back to the company to recycle.

Plastic/Aluminum Recycling Containers

Located at regular intervals in the halls for your disposal convenience. 

Recycling Containers

Need a recycling container? Just call ext. 5120 or send your request through CMMS and have one delivered to you.
