New Recycling and Waste Bin Labels

August 23, 2012

In the coming weeks you will notice new recycling and waste sorting bins in the hallways and open spaces throughout Humber.

Humber is dedicated to diverting as much material from the landfill as possible, but to be successful we need everyone to do their part!
We’ve invested in new bins and signage on our recycling and waste bins to make it as easy as possible for you to know where things go:

Red = Waste
Styrofoam, foil, food wrappers, plastic utensils

Blue = Recyclables, Plastic/Metal/Glass
EMPTY Pop cans, plastic and glass bottles, coffee cups (No liquid in here please!)

Yellow = Newspaper, magazines, note paper, cardboard
In food areas, notice there are Green organic bins. Scrape your food into those! It will be composted, and turned into soil.

For a longer comprehensive list of the type of material that can be put into each bin, and more on Humber’s sustainability actions, visit us online.

If you have ideas or comments on how to make Humber more sustainable, please contact us through the website.
