University recycling bin selection preference
Type 1 Receptacle: Built-in Strategically located built-in units incorporating serviceable containers with liners shall be provided in all new construction and major renovation projects.
Type 2 Receptacle: Credenza High profile locations such as historic buildings, administrative office suites and hospitality environments that cannot accommodate Type 1 Built-in station(s) should be equipped with custom made “credenza” stations with color and detailing to compliment the building’s interior.
Type 3 Receptacle: Plastic In areas where Type 1 or Type 2 stations are not necessary or appropriate, the use of standard receptacles are acceptable. Examples include classroom buildings, upper floors in buildings, kitchens, break areas. When proposing type 3 stations, University staff must be consulted to make the determination.

.02 COMPOSTING STATIONS
Stations shall be provided in all new construction and major renovation projects at University Park and Commonwealth Campuses.
University composting station preferences
Because of the unique nature of the organic composting program it is recommended that compost stations have a distinctive color scheme to better distinguish them from other waste or recycling containers.
The compost stations will be fitted with solid lids and handles to mitigate potential odor and insect problems.
