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 bin marked for that purpose in the Center.
Plastic 3-compartment containers and their lids can be recycled and should be rinsed and placed in the recycling bins. If you can save and stack several of them, it will save space in the bins. Please do not return them to Culinary Services.
AND if we can’t read or don’t see these numbers 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.
