The 3 W’s of Recycling at AAMC
When, where, and what?
WHEN: Starting Wednesday, March 30.
WHERE: Single stream recycling cans will be placed throughout the hospital. You’ll find them in nourishment rooms and common areas such as waiting rooms, cafeterias and cafes.
WHAT can be recycled?:
-
Non-confidential papers, including phone books, magazines, newspapers
-
Non-broken glass, including beverage containers
-
Plastics # 1-7; including disposable wash basins and pink plastic cups. Do not recycle items recognized by the general public as “medical” (i.e. oral syringes, IV bags).
-
Metals, including aluminum cans in the kitchen and beverage containers
-
Cardboard (we are working with our vendors to reduce the vast amount of cardboard that comes in the door. Please continue to break down the boxes)
-
Alkaline batteries will still be collected in separate containers so the heavy metals can be reclaimed
