We try to recycle as much as possible at Langara College. Around campus, you will find four-stream bins (organics, paper, mixed recyclables, and landfill) situated in all buildings as well as outside on our grounds.
In addition to these regular streams, we also have a Recycling Station in our cafeteria where, in addition to the above streams, you can also recycle:
- E-waste, such as phones, computers, keyboards, and other old electronics (Remember to erase all personal data before recycling).
- Soft plastics, such as plastic bags and overwrap (non-crinkly plastic that stretches when you try to put your finger through it).
- Batteries
- Cardboard
- Glass
Recycling towards student bursaries
Being environmentally conscious has its benefits. If you have a refundable bottle or can, recycle it in one of our red "Refundables" bins, that are located around campus and at the Recycling station. All refundable cans and bottles are returned for money that goes towards student bursaries.
