Question of the Week

Pictured below is a plastic cold cup. Into what bin on campus (excluding Res. halls) would you sort this into?

Answer

Plastic cold cups are considered trash.

Because cold cups are not one of the four shapes of plastic collected at OSU, they are not considered recyclable, and therefore should NOT go into the “containers” recycling.

Read our Recycling Mythbusters blog for more information on why some plastics are recyclable, while others aren’t. You can also visit the recycle guide to learn more about what types of plastic are recyclable on campus.

And congratulations to Arijit for winning this week’s Question of the Week!
