Detergent Containers, Household Cleaning

Supplies, and Orange Juice Containers

water jugs (anything that looks like a milk jug)

• Types of Plastics 3-7: PVC, Heavy Plastics,

Squeezable bottles (honey, mustard), Yogurt

Containers, Egg Cartons

Sorting – Other Materials White Paper:

•What is it – White paper and only white paper is what we are looking for. It doesn’t

matter if it is written on or printed or crumpled. It is still recyclable.

Newspaper, Magazines, and Colored Paper:

•What is it – Any other paper material is included in this category. This includes most

covers to books, any magazines, newspaper or glossy printed-paper. Flyers and Ads

are also usually included in this as well.

Aluminum:

•What is it – any type of aluminum is recyclable. This includes soda cans and other

metals that are made from aluminum.

Tin:

•What is it – Tin usually consists of canned foods (Campbell’s, Chef Boyardee, and

Progresso), Aerosol Cans and other products of similar material.

Sorting – Sensitive Material When working with other people’s material we are required to hold

that person’s identity confidential. This means that any private or personal

material, that we may come across, when sorting, we need to handle with care.

We need to make sure that it is properly dealt with. This may include, but is not

limited to, bank/credit card statements, tax information, doctor’s

notes/prescriptions, personal notes, and tests. There is no reason to read

anything while working and it takes away from you completing your job on time.

Reading this material and using it improperly is against the BYU-I

honor code and could be considered a crime. Any one that is found doing this

will lose their job indefinitely and further action with the University or other

officials could take place.

Sorting – Hazardous Material

When working with recycling, there is a chance to come across hazardous

waste and electronic waste. Hazardous materials can be harmful to you if you

come into contact with it and it can be hazardous to the environment if not

handled correctly. If you come across hazardous material or electronic waste,

it is required that it be handled by the safety office. Even if you suspect that

something might be hazardous call the safety office and find out what they

suggest that we should do. Shift supervisors are required to go through

hazardous material training with the safety office.

Using the Baler The baler is a great tool that we

have the privilege to have which

makes the work of recycling a lot

easier and more profitable. It can

also be a very dangerous machine

if not used properly. The following

are directions of using the baler:

This is the place where the

recycled material goes in order to

bale (crush/compress). The baler

has several sensors (“eyes) to see

if there is any material ready to be

baled.

Eyes / Sensors

Using the Baler (Cont.)

Step 2

Step 3

Turning On Baler 1. Turn Key to on Position

2. Press the Power On Button

3. Press Photo Elec. Cycle Button

4. Alarm will sound for a few seconds

5. Baler will begin to compress material

6. Baler compresses until top-loader empty

7. Be sure to turn off baler by turning key

Using the Wire Stripper

Turning on the wire stripper requires that

you turn the blue lever to the right. This

will make the wheels spin away from you

and that makes it possible to grab the wire.

Lever positions:

Left: Wheels spin toward you – allows you

to reverse the wire

Center (Off): Wheels are not moving

Right: Wheels spin away from you – allows

you to feed the wire through the

appropriate holes.

Using the Wire Stripper (Cont.)

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7-9 10 >

1. Untangle the wire that you are planning on

stripping

2. Find the appropriate size hole for the

gauged wire

3. Feed wire through appropriate hole

4. Feed entire length of wire

5. Grab flattened wire and begin to separate

plastic covering from copper wire.

6. Discard plastic and place copper in

appropriate tote.

Tip: When feeding wire through stripper, pull

up on the wire to all added pressure on the

wheels.

Rules for Fighting Fires

• Assist any person in immediate danger to safety, if it can be accomplished without risk to yourself.

• Activate the building fire alarm or notify the fire department by dialing 911.(or designate someone else to notify them for you)
