You can help create a green campus! Use recycling stations to sort your material.
To prevent contamination and subsequent landfill disposal of recyclable and compostable materials, please keep all plastics out of the yellow compost bins and all liquids and food material out of blue and green recycling bins.
Watch a short video on How to Sort Your Waste at UBC Okanagan. *Developed by 2018/19 GEOG491D students.
* Leave Styrofoam in clear bags by a recycling station for pick-up.
