Compost your paper cups

UVic’s campus composting system now accepts all paper-based cups, even if they don’t say “compostable” on them. Just remember to dump out any excess coffee or tea first. And the lids can go into any recycling bin that accepts bottles, cans and plastics. The results will be a lot of paper removed from our landfill stream. Centralized compost bins are located outside SUB, the fountain and the quad, and many offices are taking part in the Office Compost Program. Info: http://web.uvic.ca/sustainability/
