Across campus, community waste stations help individuals dispose of their personal trash. Each community waste station consists of a set of labeled bins to help separate trash items into their respective waste streams.

Campus Dining

Generally, most of your paper bags should be recyclable, but a good rule of thumb is that wax-lined or waxy items cannot be recycled. The same is true of aluminum lining, which you might find in Chick-Fil-A containers.
Straws are also mostly unrecyclable. If you’re looking to recycle your plastic bags, such as from the Subway Cafe, you’ll need to head to locations like the local Publix that accepts plastic bag recycling, as it can’t be processed on campus.
Otherwise, most other on-campus eatery containers should be recyclable at various recycling stations across campus! Containers that have food or grease residue should not be recycled! They can contaminate the recycling bin.
