Plastic

• Pop bottles
• Water bottles
• Any plastic with the number 1 on it

• No caps
• Bottles must be empty! (Nobody wants your rotting
  leftover Mountain Dew.)

5
Aluminum

• Pop cans
• Energy drinks
• Crushing not necessary but saves space

• Empty! If its not empty and you want to get rid
  of it, pour the rest down the sink or get someone
  else to finish it.

When to recycle

• Made too many copies, or accidentally ran off 100
  copies of the wrong thing
• Cleaning out binders/lockers
• After finishing your morning Monster and waiting
  for the buzz to kick in
• Anytime you find yourself walking to a trash can
  with PAPER, PLASTIC, or ALUMINUM

To Recap

• Recycle!
• Mixed paper in one bin, plastic and aluminum
  together in another
• No lids on bottles, no sticky leftovers in
  bottles or cans
• Walk that whole extra step to a recycling bin!
  You can do it!
