Blosenski is our new trash collection company.
September 2023 Update: Blosenski accepts #6 plastics. Effective immediately, please put the square clamshells, the pie containers and ALL #6 plastics in the blue recycling bins.
Here are more details – Plastics – Take-out Food Containers and More:
Green Food Containers– are not to be recycled, they are sterilized and reused. Please return them by placing them in the bins marked for that purpose in the Center.
Plastic three-compartment containers WITH lids (black bottoms and clear lids) are #5 and can be recycled. They should be rinsed and recycled. Please save and stack to save space in Recycle Bins. Do not return them to Culinary Services.
AND if we can’t read or don’t see a number on a plastic container, When in doubt, throw it out. This way, the contents of the blue bins have a good chance at the waste company sites of getting into the recycling streams.
You can now deposit clean, dry plastic bags at the Center. The Recycling group will deliver them to the recycling bin at a local supermarket.
