Let’s talk TRASH! Or at least where to put our trash at JPL. We are making a few changes in hopes to keep our recycling and trash where it needs to be. Here are some basic guidelines.
*Paper without personal information can be placed in blue recycling trash bins, found soon at most desk areas.
*Paper containing personal information should go into the shredding bins located back of the circulation desk.
*Cardboard should be broken down and placed in the top bin of the 2-bin recycling cart located near the staff entrance. Full? See one of our friendly TS staff for assistance.
*Withdrawn books that are not in good condition for Better World Book donations or our book sale room should go in the bottom bin of the 2-bin recycling cart located near the staff entrance. Full? See one of our friendly TS staff for assistance.
*Non-functioning library equipment can be directed to Lori F.
*Larger trash, such as broken chairs, plastic containers, or items that do not fit in our regular trash cans can be taken directly to the dumpster or placed in the larger trash cans in the janitor’s closet. Ask a friendly TS staff member for help!
*At this time JPL does not offer glass, plastic, or metal recycling. Please recycle these items at home.
*We are asking that the gray utility cart near the staff entrance now be left free of any recycling or garbage., so that it can be used by all staff , without needing to first clear it off.
Please see Lori E with any comments or questions.
Thanks!
