How to Participate: 

 

Look for type 2 (HDPE) and type 5 (PP) plastics in your daily items. 

Drop off your clean and sorted plastics at designated collection points across campus: 

  1. Academic Concourse (opposite to Sci/Home & Engineering Commons) 

  1. Shaw Auditorium G/F (elevator next to HFT Life) 

  1. LG5 outdoor escalator & outside Student Society Rooms

Tips for Recycling: 

  • Check the bottom of your plastic containers for the recycling symbol with the numbers 2 or 5. 

  • Remove all labels and stickers on your plastics for better upcycling results. 

  • Ensure the plastics are clean and dry before dropping them off. 

 

Let's work together to reduce waste and create something beautiful out of what would have been discarded.
