Recycling

I'm sure that you have all heard that this year, the SAM Green Team is focusing on Project Blue, but we must not forget about recycling and our environment! As you all know, we are starting duties this week, and one of our jobs is to stand by the recycle bins in the lunchroom during both first and second lunch to make sure everyone throws away their garbage in the correct bin. To make our job easier, here is a list of recyclable and non-recyclable items.

Recyclable:

• Milk/juice cartons (throw straw away in garbage)
• Yogurt containers
• Plastic bottles
• Pop cans
• Glass bottles (remove lids before recycling)
• Aluminum trays
• Paper and paper bags

Non-recyclables:

• Straws
• Plastic spoons, knives, forks
• Waxed paper
• Food
• Soiled (dirty) paper plates
• Paper coffee cups and lids
• Plastic bags
• Napkins
• Styrofoam

These are only items we think you might need to throw away in the cafeteria. If you are unsure which bin your garbage goes into, do not hesitate to ask the Green Team monitors. That is what we are there for!
