Welcome back to Trash Talk Tuesday, where once again we are focusing on liquids being improperly recycled (at least it’s not p*e again 😭). A common misconception is that you can recycle your Peter B’s and Underground coffee cups with liquid still inside, but ANY amount of liquid contaminates the cup. Make sure to either rinse your cup out or to dump any remaining liquid in the trash before recycling! ♻️☕️💚

Welcome back to Trash Talk Tuesday! This week’s focus is composting on Crescent St. There have been complaints that the bins aren’t being picked up by BlueEarth. We are corresponding with them as much as we can to fix this deficit and make sure weekly pickups happen as scheduled every Tuesday!

Composting is back at Mather! Make sure to throw all of your food scraps in the blue bins. Nothing but food should go in these bins

Stop buying plastic water bottles from The Cave and Bistro! Here is list of bottle fillers near you!

Hi guys! Welcome to Trash Talk Tuesday - a new initiative by the Office of Sustainability to foster lighthearted discussions about the current state of our campus’ sustainability.

Today’s Post: The BIGGEST contaminant of recycling at Trinity is URINE… yikes 😵‍💫
If you’re dead set on p*eing in a plastic bottle… please consider emptying it into the toilet during your next bathroom break 😭🙏

As you are packing up your stuff for Fall move-in, don’t forget your reusable water bottle. A brand new bottle filler was just added to Peter B’s and will be available to use 24/7. All bottle filler locations can be viewed on the campus map
