You can make a difference! You will see various recycling bins available in your residence and in all campus buildings. Each colour corresponds to a certain type of recycling. Please be sure to sort all of your waste. If incorrect items are placed in recycle or compost bins, the entire bin may be contaminated, which means it may have to be sent to the landfill. Click on your residence building for detailed recycling information.
