Please read this friendly reminder about the Mini-Max waste bin program on campus.
\n<\/p>\n
The Mini-Max Program is the standard for all interior waste bins on campus. It streamlines and standardizes waste management on campus; reducing landfill waste, making sorting easier, and giving custodians more time to complete tasks that keep our campus clean.<\/p>\n
Every person has a deskside Mini-Max bin that includes a recycling bin, a small hanging waste bin, and a small hanging compost bin. You are responsible for maintaining and emptying your deskside Mini-Max bin, and custodians are responsible for the larger, common area tri-stream bins. When your deskside bin is full, please empty it into the larger common area bin. Custodians will only be maintaining and emptying the larger centralized tri-stream bins.<\/p>\n
Having staff and faculty maintain their own deskside waste bins increases awareness, ownership, and responsibility for waste creation and proper waste sorting. This effort also drastically reduces single-use plastic on campus and drives the campus towards its carbon neutrality goal of 2050<\/a>. Many SBCTC schools have also adopted this program, and it continues to be best practice for waste bin programs in higher education.<\/p>\n Thank you for your help in making Bellevue College more sustainable.<\/p>\n
