Waste Reduction Bins
To help implement the Waste Not program, Zero Waste Stations have been installed inside and outside of all campus buildings. These stations will help divert waste from going into the landfill by adding a new stream to all trash receptacles: mixed recycling.
Interior bins:
Exterior Bins:
Deskside trash bins are no longer provided in classrooms and office spaces. Centrally located Zero Waste Stations will serve as the main hubs for waste disposal, while all deskside recycling bins will be upgraded with a mini-bin for trash items. Note: Avoid placing wet, sticky items in your new mini-bin as these will not be lined and are emptied once a week by Custodial Services. See the FAQ's section below to learn how to take care of your mini-bin.
How to Properly Sort Your Waste
With the new Zero Waste Stations, you will be able to separate your waste in any of the two bins: Mixed Recycling for recyclables, or Landfill│Trash for all items that cannot be recycled. Each bin is labeled and includes helpful signage with photos and a list of acceptable items to make sorting as easy as 1-2-3.
