Difference between revisions of "FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT RECYCLING"

Revision as of 15:39, 6 December 2006

1. What happens after trash is put in recycling bins (or some other way to address contamination)?

2. What happens if I don't take the staples off of paper; or if I put put catalogs or envelopes with windows or newspapers into the paper bins?

- Staples, catalogs, envelops with windows, or newspaper in the paper bins counts as decontamination. Someone else on campus must then decontaminate the bin before it can be recycled; or else the whole bin needs to be thrown away. Please help us avoid decontamination!

NoÃ¢â‚¬â€EArlham and the town of Richmond only recycle plastics #1 and #2. See for information on recycling other kinds of plastic.

5. Whom do I contact if the bins on my floor/hall are not being emptied regularly enough, or if the recycling is messy and/ or smells bad?

6. Whom do I contact if I'm interested in a recycling or composting work-study job?

If you have a question not on this list, please contact ???
