#Refuse plastic bags-The average life of plastic bag is 12 min & it's reported that only 1% are returned for recycling. Plastic bags do not belong in your recycling bin-Some grocery stores have plastic bag drop offs for recycling. #Repost@PlasticPollutes ⁠📸 @UnderdoneComics⁠

A great way to reduce the material sent to the landfill is by using REUSABLE utensils! Standard plastic utensils are neither recyclable or compostable. #terpsrecycle #terps #UMD #CampusRaceToZeroWaste #GreenTerp #SustianableUMD

On #UMD campus, glass cannot be recycled in a standard mixed recycling bin on campus. #Recycle all glass bottles and jars in a purple dumpster. Locations are listed on the campus web map. #SustainableUMD #GreenTerp #TerpsRecycle #TerpsRecycleRight #CampusRaceToZeroWaste

Cardboard is one of our most recycled items at #UMD! To conserve space, please flatten all boxes before recycling. Packing products, such as air pillows, cannot be recycled. #TerpsRecycleRight #SustianableUMD #GreenTerp #TerpsRecycle @SustainableUMD @UMDReslife @UMDdining
