Recycling

The trash chute exists on each floor in the stairwell without the freight elevator.
Separate Recycling Bins exist on each floor (next to the trash chute) with one intended for glass, plastic, and metal, and the other for paper products.
Cat litter must be double bagged and also left on the floor near the trash cute
DO NOT through the following items down the chute: matches, cigarettes, aerosol cans, paint cans, metal, wood, needles.
Trash other than what is described above should be bagged, neatly tied, and dropped down the chute. If it will not fit, please leave the trash on the floor near the chute or bring it to the compactor room in the basement.
