Plastic and Aluminum
Brookhaven College has a partnership with the Boy Scouts of America, Troop 33, to recycle plastic and aluminum cans. Troop 33 visits campus weekly to pick up the plastic and cans from the receptacles located in each vending area on campus. The troop hopes to raise money for their projects with the funds they receive for can recycling.
Dispose of your EMPTY cans and plastic in the receptacles next to each vending machine on campus. Please do not throw paper or trash into the can/bottle receptacles. Vending machines are located in Buildings D, Q, S, T, B, L/M and K.
