Recycling 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.
