There are several trash bags at the back of the office devoted to different types of (non-soda can) recyclables. These may be recycled by taking them to Bexley dormitory: on Tuesday night, leave the stuff near Bexley (opposite from Mass Ave), and make sure you put them in the special bins near the curbside (take the stuff out of the bags).
The latest guidelines from abbe:
Jet-A-Way will no longer accept any recyclables left for pickups in plastic bags. All items need to be placed in the bins at curbside. Jet-A-Way has generously agreed to supply each house with 2-3 very large plastic barrels which will be kept near the pickup area. This way, if you plan to transport your recyclables to the pickup site in a plastic bag, you can empty the contents of the bag into the barrel.
Glass (clear and colored), aluminum, tin and plastics (#1 & #2 only) can be mixed together. These items need to be rinsed first. Newspaper and white paper can be mixed and put either in brown paper bags or wrapped in twine.
The empty deposit soda cans should be sorted by maker (Coca Cola or whatever) into cardboard flats, and then taken down to La Verde's. A set of five flats should be six dollars of deposit refund. The current Coke Comm is rewarding people who do this with a free can of soda for every five flats.
When you are done with your can of soda, rinse it out and put it in the cardboard soda flats at the back of the office. When you are done with your food, throw the wrappings away. Remember, do not throw out anything dangerously sharp into the trash.
In case of major disaster, there is a SIPB bucket, sponges, and cleanser on the refridgerator at the back of the room.
Officially, anything not maintained by Cokecomm may be thrown out of the fridge. Unofficially, anything not named and dated may be thrown out, especially if it starts smelling bad (at which time it should definitely be thrown out).
The last fridge cleaning occurred in February of 1994, at which time the inside and door front of the fridge were thoroughly scrubbed with bleach-based cleanser. If you clean the fridge out, do not forget to empty the water-collection tray located beneath it. Feel free to use the gloves, sponges, bucket and cleanser located on the fridge.
