CityLine Sunnyvale has a comprehensive recycling program that accepts the following recyclable materials:
- White & colored paper
- Magazines, newspapers
- Brochures & pamphlets
- All envelopes
- Paper clips
- Books (hard or soft copy)
- Adding machine tape
- Post-it notes
- Staples and binder clips
- Cardboard
- Glass & plastic bottles
- Aluminum cans
Paper waste should be placed in the blue, desk-side recycling containers provided by Building Management. Each evening, the janitorial staff empties the recycle contents and takes them to the Building’s central recycle facility.
All wastes that are NOT paper waste or cardboard should be placed in the black bins. The wastes are sorted into recyclable and compostable at offsite facility.
Cardboard should be flattened and placed next to the trash bins with “Trash / Basura” label or writing on it for pick up.
Participation in the program is important to its success. A comprehensive recycling program can:
- Protect the environment
- Save natural resources
- Conserve scarce landfill space
Through everyone’s effort, we can demonstrate that recycling can be both economically and environmentally beneficial.
In addition to mixed paper, bottles and cans, our recycling program also includes dry cell batteries, toner cartridges and electronic waste.
E-Waste events are held one to two times each year, depending on building needs. We accept small electronics such as cell phones, computers, DVDs / VCRs / stereo equipment, printer / fax machines, and laptops. Anything with a plug except refrigerators, air conditioners or mercury thermostats! Responsible electronic recycling services are provided by Metech Recycling, a Certified e-Stewards® recycler. Over 95% of all materials will be fully recycled for remanufacture. No recycled materials will be incinerated, land-filled, or shipped abroad to be dumped.
