Trash (bin) free classrooms - New areas being added!

After January break, the MCC Recycling Committee with the assistance of Building Services will be expanding the pilot program of removing trash receptacles from inside classrooms. Bins will be removed from classrooms in these areas: Building 6 third floor, Building 9 second floor, and Building 11 first floor. Bins will only be removed from classrooms, not labs. Extra trash/recycle bin pairs have been added to the hallways on these floors and signs will be posted inside each room (see attachment).

We are hoping this program will increase use of the pre-sorting bins in the hallways, and decrease recycling contamination and the use of plastic bags by the maintenance crews.

We are asking faculty to assist us by encouraging students to take their disposables out of the classrooms and disposing items properly--either in the blue recycling or black trash bin in the hallways.

Thank you for your help!
