Library Services uses TerraCycle's collection programs to recycle a variety of products which cannot be municipally recycled. Our TerraCycle programs are free to the college, and some of them allow us to earn points we redeem to support our k-cup recycling program. See FLC Recycling Categories below for a full list of our TerraCycle recycling programs!
We also recycle K-cups through Keurig's K-Cycle program. This program accepts K-cups only, and does not accept other coffee related materials like creamer cups or disposable coffee cups. Due to the organic nature of K-cups, small, frequent deliveries are preferable over large, less frequent deliveries (K-cups can become moldy).
FLC recycling services are available Monday-Friday, 8am-4:30pm in office 206, opposite the staircase on the second floor. Stop by and drop off your recyclables in our marked boxes!

Are you alumni or studying remotely? You are welcome to save any materials listed in our FLC Recycling program to drop off when you visit campus! Or, you can make a Terracycle account and pick your own material types to recycle at home by visiting terracycle.com/en-US/brigades. Because K-cups tend to mold, please don't save them to drop off during campus visits. However, you can purchase your own K-cup recycling bins at keurigkcycle.com/. You can also eliminate K-cup waste at the source by switching to reusable K-cups or transitioning to a French press or pour-over coffee brewing system.
Do you know about additional local recycling resources that aren't listed in our Community Resources section, or have some of our Community Resources ceased? Please let Sylvia know so she can keep our resources list up to date!
