And Another Head's Up

There are some new recycling bins on campus. They look something like this:


Except slighter prettier I think.

Point being, starting next week the residence halls on the north half of campus will begin to be serviced by the dedicated recycling staff. Previously, they had to rely on the county service. Which works rather well except that it required students to remember to put their recycling bins on the curb. And, sad to say, students are not always so great about remembering to put their recycling bins on the curb.

Now, no one will have to remember to pick up the recycling! Except us, but that's our job, so its not so hard to remember. We will be picking up recycling from all of the Western Shore dorms, Harford, Chester, and Sassafras. Bottles and cans go in the pretty blue containers like that one (look up). Paper and cardboard go in the old green county bins. So long as they are DRY and NOT mixed with bottles and cans. Or food. Please refer to www.georgegoesgreen.com for further info.

As another head's up, in case you didn't know, you can also recycle things other than bottles and cans and paper on campus. Such as batteries, and some electronics. You can take these to the help desk in the basement of Wm Smith.

Keep checking back for more updates as the year progresses. This year we plan to make WC a recycling powerhouse.
