Recyclemania “Hazmat” Event canceled:

Due to the recent ice and snow, the outdoor “Hazmat” event will not take place this week. The “Hazmat” event is an annual occurrence hosted by the Sustainability Department. It entails collecting all recyclable and landfill waste from outdoor containers. They are then weighed and sorting out separately, all with the goal of finding out truly how effective recycling is at Guilford. Previously, “Hazmat” goers have found that Guilford has an issue with sullied recyclables, recyclable containers that were not completely emptied yet thrown into recycling bins.
