Trash left behind can harm our natural environment, local wildlife, and waterways. When tailgating, please help care for the Forty Acres by properly disposing of your trash.
4 tips for proper chemical disposal:
1. Bleach, drain cleaner, rubbing alcohol, ammonia, and disinfectants require special disposal
2. Request chemical pickup at ehs.utexas.edu
3. Keep chemicals sealed and labeled
4. Never put chemicals down the drain or in the trash
Composting doesn't have to be hard! Follow these tips to get you started:
- “Biodegradable” doesn’t mean compostable
- Look for the BPI label or #7 PLA symbol
- Remove produce stickers and plastic wrap
- When in doubt, throw it out to avoid contamination composting sites
