• Emma Hickman – She/Her – eeh@mit.edu

Instructions:
For the bins in dining halls: Bring your dishes to the designated disposal area. First, put the cups and eating utensils in their designated area. Then, put any items that can be recycled in the recycling bin. Finally, put all uneaten food in the food waste bin.

For the bins in the living areas (ex. lounges): You can keep a small bin in your room for food waste to dispose of when convenient, or you can dispose of food waste immediately after eating in the bins in the living areas.

• Jay Mancera – jmancera@mit.edu
• Haylea Brock – hbrock@mit.edu

Instructions:
Residents can currently opt-in to the program and request a small, 2-gallon food waste bin for their suite. All food waste can be emptied into this small container. Once a day- or whenever the bin is full- residents should then take that smaller bin and empty it into the large food waste collection bin located outside the TV Lounge. The bin outside the TV Lounge is also always available for students to deposit food waste.

• Eldar Urkumbayev – He/Him – eldaru@mit.edu

  

Instructions:
Whenever you have food you don’t want to, or cannot eat, please bring it to the closest food waste bin and dump it from its container. Do not put plastic, cardboard, or even compostable utensils and tupperware, as they don’t work with MIT’s food recycling facility. (I would also print out a visual instruction and put it in main lounges and other eating areas.
