Yes
None
A brief description of the program:
We have an ongoing recycling program through which residents are encouraged to recycle responsibly from move-in to move-out. Each room is provided with a blue recycling bag at move-in and residents are instructed to refer to the recycling guide clearly posted in each room for details on what is recyclable. Full bags are placed outside the RA office for the RA’s to place in a locked outdoor recycling bin. Free blue bags are available in the housing office, whereas garbage bags are sold for 25 cents each. Garbage dumpsters are periodically checked to ensure residents are not misusing blue bags in place of garbage bags
