How do I get bins?

Please call the program coordinator at 203.432.6852.

What types of bin do I need?

Marshall Bins (Set).
Marshall bins come in sets of two or three: "cans & bottles", "mixed paper", and trash. Cans & Mixed Paper Carts.
Two carts: Blue for bottles and cans, Green for mixed paper. Deskside Combo.
We're really excited about this one: the combo is a mixed-paper recycling bin and a trash bin in one.

On campus: custodians will now empty BOTH of them for you. Packing Material Reuse Station.
We ask you to put bubblewrap, packing peanuts, etc into these stations - the most centrally located can be found in the Post Office - this allows people who need packing materials to take for their own use. In case the bin is full, call Yale Recycling for emptying. Clearstream: Event bin
Even the most eventful event eventually needs clean-up. Make it easy, efficient and environment-friendly with this event bin - easy to fold, easy to carry, easy to empty. Dorm bins
Also known as the "roombians". The blue glass & bottle recycling bins can be picked up in your residential college basement.
