HOW CAN YOU HELP?BAGS
• Landfill = Black/grey signage/bin + black bag
• Compost = Green signage/bin + green bag^
• Recycle = Blue signage/bin + clear bag*
^ 32-gal compostable bags can be ordered through IFIS: Stock No. 800. If purchase others, must be labeled “compostable” and/or “BPI-certified.”* At home, do not use plastic bags for recycling, but ok at AISD schools because TDS will remove for us.
