To the Editor:
I was very disappointed to see a picture of our “recycling
containers” in the Sept. 3 paper with a caption reading “Brandon
Horton, a landscape architecture major, deposits rubbish in a trash
container.”
We have been trying to educate the campus population that these
are “recycling containers” not “trash containers.” Recycling on
campus is very important and we need to put the correct materials
in the proper containers. There are too many people on campus that
do not read the labels on the containers already without The
Collegian printing a picture of the bins saying it’s all right to
put any kind of trash into them.
Since America Recycles Day is coming up maybe The Collegian
should take pictures of the dumpsters on a Sunday afternoon. The
residences put several different items in the dumpsters that could
be recycled in the bins right next to all of the dumpsters at the
residence halls.
