Green Labs is so excited to announce: STYROFOAM IS NOW ABLE TO BE RECYCLED!!

Please check out the Green Labs Pilot Program website and below for more details. Additional locations are to be added soon, so check back if your building is not yet indicated. Want to get involved? If you'd like to volunteer, let us know by filling out this form, OR click here to sign our petition asking vendors to reduce Styrofoam being sent to campus and asking Caltech to make Styrofoam recycling a permanent program.

In short: on the first Wednesday of the next few months, you can now drop off clean Styrofoam at the locations below and Green Labs will arrange for it to be picked up and sent to a waste recycler that will transform the Styrofoam into picture frames! During the rest of the month, please hold on to your Styrofoam and drop it off only during the drop off dates.
