Cardboard and Newspaper
1. Newspaper, cardboard, magazines and other paper are sorted and kept separate through the recycling process at Williams, but follow much of the same path. They are collected by the Williams Campus Recyclers on their normal recycling route, and stored in separate roll-off boxes at the Agway center near the end of Spring Street.
2. When those boxes are full, they are picked up by a contracted hauler and delivered to the Rutland Material Recovery Facility in Rutland, Vermont.
3. From there, the newspaper and cardboard go to Canadian Mills in Montreal, Quebec. The cardboard becomes liners on corrugated cardboard, while the newspaper becomes more newsprint.
Williams recycles approximately 140-160 tons of combined cardboard, newspaper, magazines, and other paper per year.
