Recycled plastic bottles are used to make carpet, clothing and even auto parts.
Two new bins for batteries recycling are now available in the Belfer Research Building (at the building entrance just behind the turnstiles) and the 1300 York Avenue building (first floor in front of the LC elevators, all the way to your right when you enter the building).
EHS collects the batteries from these bins regularly.
