Let's Talk Trash- Recycling on Campus  

Don't Toss your Tuition Dollars into the Garbage Thanks to San Francisco's green garbage system, Hastings can save up to 75% of its garbage costs (as well as further environmental goals) if we are all attentive to where we are putting our discards. Please take a few minutes to look at this presentation http://uchastings.edu/student-services/docs/garbage101.pps which spells it all out clearly.
