Hello,

 

Lately we have been noticing a lot of random garbage in our compost bins at the rear of the building near Receiving.  Please note that we have 3 different types of refuse in that area.  Please Pay Attention to the signage on the bins and make sure you are throwing your waste in the proper bins.  These trash bins are for waste from this building, do not use these receptacles to throw away your personal trash and recyclables from home.

 

We have a couple of large green bins for trash (nonrecyclable plastic, Styrofoam, foil, etc.):

 

Garbage Dumpsters & Waste Containers ...

 

We also have a couple of large green bins for recyclables:  corrugated cardboard, plastics, paper, etc.

The smaller brown (and 1 green) trash bins are for organic materials ONLY!  Do not throw plastic, cardboard, or glass in these containers!

Thank you!
