What is a Disposable?
Disposables Bins are now located in Patriot Hall; they are the new big blue bins with the large holes. These are for empty cups, clam shells, and salad bar to-go containers, napkins. Sorry no straws, drinks, or food go in these bins. If you’ve used a clear cup or other disposable, simply empty the food and straw in the trash or the liquids on the tray and use the new DISPOSABLES bins for these compostable items. The new dining service cups are not regular petroleum-based plastic and cannot be placed in regular recycling. They are made from an environmentally friendly alternative polymer based on corn; so these new “plastic” cups can be composted. The Disposables collection will be composted here on campus. If you have these items in other areas of campus, please place them in the trash. Please continue to use the regular recycle bins for other materials: Paper, Newspaper, Cardboard, Glass, Plastic, and Aluminum. Bin Locations Click here to locate the recycling bin closest to you.
