Recycling
 
Bates began a formal recycling program in 1991. In the fall of 1998, the program was improved to include education and a standard color-coded collection system that will be phased in over the next two years. Currently, all red, blue and green bins are appropriately color-coded. Additionally, color-coded labels have been placed on all bins to identify the material that should be placed in them.

The College currently recycles the following materials: office paper, mixed paper, No. 2 plastic, tins, glass (clear and colored), metal, wood, packing peanuts, overhead transparencies, redeemable bottles and cans, newspapers and magazines, corrugated cardboard, laser cartridges and ink-jet cartridges.
