Every room on campus should have a small blue recycling bin. Are you missing yours? Email the Terry Hawkridge at thawkrid@hamilton.edu with the following:
Your name
Your dorm name/room number
Subject: I need a blue bin!
Thanks for making Hamilton a little greener.
- The Recycling Task Force
FACT:
Hamilton pays $72.15 for every ton of garbage we produce in the community, but disposing of recyclables is free. Please reduce, reuse, and recycle whenever possible!
UPDATE:
Oneida-Herkimer Solid Waste Authority has recently changed its recycling guidelines and no longer accepts plastic #6, which includes Styrofoam containers, Solo cups, most plastic cups, and Opus cups.
TIPS:
The container group includes plastics #1-5 (look on the bottom of most containers for the recycling symbol).
Cups from McEwen and the Diner are not recyclable! Commons cups (only the ones that have "Bon Appetit" on the side) are recyclable if they are rinsed out.
Use the blue bin in your room or office to make recycling easier.
Use a travel mug or water bottle instead of paper cups.
