environmental impacts that come from extracting new materials. However, when recycling bins are contaminated鈥攚ith liquids, plastic bags, or greasy pizza boxes, for instance鈥攚hole batches of otherwise recyclable material can become so soiled they must be thrown away.</p> <p>As Yale introduces new recycling and food waste signs campus-wide, a new video series looks at some of the most common mistakes in campus recycling and how the Yale community can recycle right.</p> <p>For more information on campus recycling, visit the聽<a href="https://recycling.yale.edu/" target="_blank">Yale Recycling website</a>.</p> <h2>Recycle Right: Plastic Bottles</h2>
