Report a Broken Station

Is your recycling station incomplete?  Are there bins or labels missing?

Let the Task Force know!

Every station on campus should have:

• 4 bins (garbage, paper, container, 5 cent deposit) with labels
• a "Hamilton Recycles" poster
• Additionally, all academic buildings should have lids on paper and container group bins.

1. What building?
2. Where in building?
3. What is missing?

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.
