Summaries

Summary Sentence: Turn in unwanted plexiglass shields for specialty recycling

Full Summary: Unwanted plexiglass shields will be collected from 8/15 - 8/22 by Area Teams and recycled with the Office of Solid Waste Management & Recycling through a specialty vendor. 

The Office of Solid Waste and Recycling (OSW&R) is offering another round of plexi-shield recycling during the week of August 15 - 22. Below are the steps to follow:

  • Turn in unwanted shields to your Building Manager
  • Building Managers will reach out to their respective Areas to inform them of quantity/pickup location
  • OSWM&R will centralize shields, disassemble, and sort materials
  • Materials will be taken to a specialty recycling vendor

This will be the final opportunity to recycle any shields you may have. Both acrylic-only and PVC mixed shields are accepted. Should you have any questions, reach out to recycle@gatech.edu
