Recycling Program!

Dear Students:

On Friday January 16th, Lakside Commons began a new comprehensive recycling program! You will now notice clear liners or black liners in trash receptacles. This simple system denotes clear liners for recyclables and black liners for wet waste or non-recyclables. Clear liners will be in desk side trash receptacles and black liners will be in classrooms, social areas and bathrooms. The recyclables will be sorted offsite and made into products you find in your office bathrooms or on your grocery store shelves! The wet waste, or landfill material, will be cut by over half with this new program! Please see below for more details. Thank you!

Recyclable Materials (Clear Liner):
Copy / office paper
Aluminum cans
Plastic bottles
Cardboard
Magazines / Newspapers
Catalogs / books
Mail / packaging cartons
Glass

Non-Recyclable Materials (Black Liner):
Food
Restroom waste
Medical waste
Styrofoam
Used towel or tissue
Toner cartridges
Wood
Batteries
