Bin wondering? 
 
Nobody likes stickers on fruit, but stickers on bins are great - they tell you what goes where. Look for them in a nutrition nook near you. Find out more about composting on campus here.

How to deal with dirty dishes? It's simple.  
 
It's hard to believe but yes, it seems there are those who think the dish fairies are on the job in ECHA. Sadly, they are not. Your dishes and your food are your responsibility. Cleaning staff do not do dishes, and you shouldn't expect your co-workers to clean up after you. 
 
The nutrition nooks in ECHA are shared spaces. Based on input from occupant groups, the ECHA team has asked cleaning staff to clean microwaves and spot-clean fridges regularly. A full 'empty-fridge' cleaning will be done monthly. (You will be notified when the full cleaning schedule is available.)
 
Dirty dishes left in shared spaces WILL be placed in recycling bins, landfill or donated to the Bissell Centre. Food left to go bad in the fridge WILL be thrown out.
 
It's that simple.

The Rural Medicine Interest group invites you....
