Students are responsible for managing their own trash and recycling. This includes properly sorting trash and recycling and regularly removing trash and recycling from their residence hall room to a designated trash and recycling room or area. Trash and recyclables must be placed in the larger bins located in these areas. Items may not be stored in these areas; all items in the trash rooms or designated trash areas will be disposed of by Facilities.
Students are expected to participate in the College’s ongoing sustainability efforts. This includes utilizing Babson’s extensive recycling program. Blue or green mixed recycling containers are provided in each residence hall room. In addition to mixed recycling, the College separately recycles clothing, furniture, books, batteries, electronics, and other items. Contact the Sustainability Office or Facilities Management and Planning for more information.
