thefts are related.

Work study students for BC recycling go
around campus each week collecting recy-
clables from all buildings. This includes pa
per, plastic, cardboard, and glass. There is
a recycling shed located by every dumpster
for each dormitory including Beam, Jones,
Green, and North and South villages.
All students that live on campus should
advise one another to separate their recycla-
bles when taking them to the sheds. There
have been several cases where students
leave their bags of trash under the sheds
without organizing them. This prolongs the
process of organizing the items that can and
caimot be recycled and accumulates to one
“Some kids are obviously taking cars and
joyriding in them.”
Jacobsen is urging students to make sure
that they lock their cars whenever they
leave them and to make sure that no valu
ables are left in their vehicles.
big mess. Items that have food on them such
as pizza boxes, plastic take-out containers,
fast food cups. Styrofoam, wet paper, and
anything that looks like trash caimot be re
cycled. Do not bother recychng any plastic
bottles with dip in them either All students
should keep in mind that if the item looks
like trash, it probably is trash and should
be taken to the dumpster
Please be courteous and take a minute to
organize your trash, because this makes
the recycling process easier and keeps
uimecessary items from ending up in the
recycling containers. With the help from
students living on campus, we can reduce
the amount of waste being generated on
campus and acquire a more sustainable
living enviroimient.
