Are paper towels recyclable?

Recycling is confusing.  But so are many things in our daily work and personal lives.  You can master it!

Paper towels should NOT go in recycling. Used paper products, including brown, bleached, and dyed paper towels, napkins, and tissues, are not recyclable because they are usually considered unsanitary; they are also made from low-grade, short fibers that cannot be recycled.

We need your help in elevating University Marketing & Communications to the gold level in the Green Offices Program.  Please don’t put paper towels, napkins, or tissues in the recycling bins!  And look for more news and opportunities in the coming weeks.
