Recycling Program

16 Chestnut is equipped with “single-stream” recycling capabilities.  Single-stream means that all recyclable items may be co-mingled and do not require separation at the point of collection.  Separation of the various recyclable components is done at an off-site facility.  The following items can be recycled through the building’s recycling program:

Paper Products

•     Cardboard
•     Office Paper
•     Magazines
•     Junk Mail
•     Phonebooks
•     Paperboard
•     Brown Paper Bags

•     Aluminum Cans    
•     Steel cans (canned food)
•     Empty Aerosol Cans
•     Aluminum Foil/Pie Tins

16 Chestnut also participates in a composting program.  All composting material must be kept separate from the trash and recycling material.  The following items can be composted through the building’s composting program:

•     Food Waste
•     Coffee Grinds & Filters
•     Produce
•     Plants and Flowers       
•     Paper Napkins/Paper Towels
