ecycling bins litter this campus. Every building has at least one bin for a speciic area, and nearly all are Rlocated next to trash cans. But when you look inside these bins, you don’t just see recyclable materials. You see garbage. Unfortunately, as found in Anthony Anderson’s article on page one, once more than 10 percent of the recycling is garbage, the entire container is con- taminated, and all the contents are thrown away. That’s hurting, not helping the cause. Doane doesn’t need more recycling bins, it needs an education system. The Doane community needs to learn what can and cannot be recycled, so when it’s time to choose between a trash can and a recycling bin, you don’t just throw it all away. Many students use plastic water bottles. Since there isn’t a way to regulate the use of plastic, the On behalf of the football seniors I would like to thank everyone at Doane for the tremendous amount least students can do is recycle the bottles when of support our team received this year.
