Trash is removed from all common areas \u2013 restrooms, conference rooms, breakrooms, etc.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>In the large buildings, recycling is collected in the blue curbside totters. These are left outside of each building in a designated location and emptied the following day by Republic Services. In the smaller houses, deskside recycling is collected in large clear liners. These liners are left outside the buildings and collected. They are then deposited in some of the various blue totters at the larger buildings or in one of the designated single stream dumpsters located throughout the Institution.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>Cardboard and redeemable bottle\/can recycling is performed as required. The recycling is collected simultaneously with the trash. It is then sorted at the Distribution Warehouse where there are two compactors, one for trash and the other for cardboard.
