Guide to Commingled Recycling:
Add - Use the red, brown and silver recycling bins inside the buildings and the green recycling bins outside the campus for recycling all bottles/cans as well as non-hazardous, non-laboratory plastics from # 1 through # 5. Minimize waste during meetings and events by using your own reuseable cup. For larger events, try a zero-waste event and call the recycling/sustainability department for information or order re-useable dishes and bulk drink stations in catered events.
