Mixed Office Paper
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 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, mixed office paper goes to the Sonoco in Montreal, Quebec, where it is turned in to cores of cardboard paper tubes (such as toilet paper tubes, wrapping paper tubes, etc.).
Williams recycles approximately 140-160 tons of combined cardboard, newspaper, magazines, and other paper each year.
