What is Single-Stream 回收?

 

Single-stream recycling is when all recyclable materials (paper, plastic, aluminum, etc.) is placed in the same bin to be recycled. Single-stream systems are credited with increasing the total amount of recycled material. However, bins are easily contaminated with non-recyclable waste. It is estimated that one out of every five things 沃基肖 residents recycle is actually trash.

Be a good steward and commit to recycling correctly! Contaminating our recycling bins adds fees to Carroll and ruins the efforts of others. Locate blue bins or other recycling containers in your building and the dumpster with the blue lid outside of the dorms. Follow the guide below for what is and is not recyclable:
