Welcome to Week 10 of the 50 Ways to Reduce Your Waste Line. Last week, we invited you to consider the practice of mindful consumption. This week, we ask you to learn about what goes in which of the three Zero Waste sorting bins at Sheridan.
One Thing You Can Do
As part of our unique Zero Waste program, Sheridan is collecting organic waste and paper coffee cups in the Green bin, which is available in hallways and office areas across all three campuses. In every Zero Waste station, the three bins are set up side by side, from left to right: Green bin for Organic waste and paper coffee cups, Blue bin for Mixed Recycling waste, and Black bin for Landfill waste. To help Sheridan reduce the waste that is sent to landfills, one thing you can do is to take a closer look at the “Zero Waste Gets Real – What Goes Where” poster below. It indicates what goes into each of the three bins at each Zero Waste station. If you look carefully at the types of waste in each waste stream, you may find that they vary slightly from the acceptable items that go into your waste bins at home.
Useful Resource: What Goes Where?
To learn more about what goes in each of the three bins at the Zero Waste station, you can also do a quick search at the Mission Zero website. Some frequently asked questions are available on this page as well.
