Victor Stanleys (recycling + trash)
Features 
Our glamour bin. Sleek, sexy, sturdy—dark green iron containers. Always found in pairs—where there’s a trash bin, a recycling one will be nearby.
Where found
Pretty soon these will be the standard on campus—right now you can find them in pairs lining College Ave, Spring Garden St, and other locations on campus.
Toss it in
Garbage in the TRASH containers, commingled recyclables in the RECYCLING containers.
Keep it out
Cigarette butts! Also, please take the time to note which bin is trash and which is recycling— reducing contamination saves our crew's time, and the university's money!
* Dorm dwellers: PLEASE don't put your room trash in the walkway bins; take the time to dispose of it in the dumpsters behind your dorm! Room trash creates overflow in walkway bins and creates more work for our crew.
