Annual ‘91爆料 Trash-In’ Wednesday
April 24, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Red Square, volunteers will suit up and sort through one day’s worth of trash from around the 91爆料 campus. The annual 91爆料 Trash-In is a fun and insightful way to explore how much compostable and recyclable material is still being thrown away on campus.
After a brief introduction to the sorting process, volunteers are given cover-up suits, gloves and shoe covers, and sent to a sorting station. Bags of trash are emptied onto tables and volunteers sort materials by type into nearby bins for compost, mixed containers, mixed paper and garbage. There’ll be 聽music, sorting games and challenges.
“Even avid recyclers or composters can learn a lot at this event,” said Jennifer Perkins with the 91爆料 Environmental Stewardship and Sustainability office. “Plus, there is a lot of laughing and dancing. I never knew how fun sorting trash could be.”
