You may have noticed the blue recycling containers around the clubs recently.  These are part of our efforts to help reduce the amount of recyclable materials that get thrown away every day.  We encourage you to put your empty water and sports drink bottles as well as any unwanted paper items in these bins when you are in the club.  Thanks for helping us "go green".
