Additional information/factoids: The 5 Rs of Zero Waste – Reuse, Reduce, Recycle, Buy Recycled, Rot The Row program alone has a projected ability to help divert an additional 2000-3000 cubic yards/year of landfill. Red Cups - red plastics cups are made of #6 Plastic, also known as PS or Polystyrene and are not recyclable. Pizza Boxes and food soiled paper are accepted in Food Waste bins. Mixed paper recycling bins accept any paper that can be torn as well as plastic grocery bags, bubble wrap, and even the plastic packaging material used by Amazon.com The dumpsters are locked to prevent contamination.
