So you have a blue bag. You sort your recycle. You think you're saving the universe.

But tossing anything glass or cardboard into the blue bags just ain't gonna cut it.

According to the recycling rules for campus housing, anything with any sort of food or wet garbage on it is thrown out - along with the entire bag of stuff it was in.

This means even the remnants of a slice of cheesy Gumby's contaminates the pizza box.

What do we have to do? Power-spray our take-out boxes? Apparently so. It's hard work being green, eh?
