With more than 56,000 students across all campuses, Humber College goes through a large number of writing instruments. Instead of throwing your pens, pencils and markers away, you can recycle them on campus! 

By popular demand, the Office of Sustainability has made new writing instrument recycling boxes.

Here’s how it works:

• Fill out this form with your name, contact information and office location
• Once the form has been filled, you can either collect the writing utensil boxes from our office (DX101) or we can deliver it your office

Friendly reminder that if you choose to participate in this program, it is up to your office to deliver the box once filled to the larger recycling boxes - one is outside of IGNITE Student Centre at North and the other is in L Building (2nd floor) at Lakeshore. The Sustainability team collects those boxes monthly and brings them to Staples for recycling.

What type of writing instruments can be recycled? Most types! 

• All pen, mechanical pencil and marker brands 
• Any ink colour 
• Markers including dry erase and permanent 
• If you write with it, it can be collected for recycling! 

Help us divert waste from landfills and write a more sustainable future together. If you have any questions about this program, please contact devon.fernandes@humber.ca.
