As part of the ENVS 399 Sustainability Practicum class, we are working on making our campus more sustainable. Leftover food on recyclables contaminates them and makes them unrecyclable. We are launching a drop-off point for fully clean recyclables at the environment and sustainability-themed Small Living House, Tree House (110A Rowland Ave.) Please stop by throughout the rest of the semester to place any clean glass, aluminum, and #1 or #2 plastics into the black trash can labeled “Clean Recycling Drop-Off.” Planned initiatives will address food-contaminated recyclables more systematically, but our Clean Recyclables Dropoff is a way to address the issue immediately.
