Holiday recycling nice and naughty lists
|
|
Recycling during the holiday season is a must, but even the most ardent recyclers need to know what belongs in that bin, what should be reused, and what, unfortunately, must go in the trash can.
UTA’s Sustainability Committee relied on the University’s recycling partner, Balcones Resources, to develop nice and naughty lists for holiday season recycling.
