Recycling At Regionals (bottles, cans, paper)

[RobotsVsKittens]

Hi,

I'm pretty new to these forums. I've volunteered at a few regionals, this year, SBPLI, for the 2nd time, and Philadelphia last year. I am curious if other regionals have bins for recycling paper or plastic/glass/metal beverage containers. SBPLI did not, but I forget if Philadelphia did.

I know it is often the fault of the facility not having them coupled with the problem of people using them for general trash. I worked at pit admin this year and was disturbed by the amount of paper and plastic we could not recycle. I think next year I will bring a bin for the plastic and paper, if I work at pit admin. At SBPLI, one of the sponsors of the event is even a recycling company. I'm sure that the main reason is that the venue does not recycle. But that should be no reason to stop us. I got to know some of the people who organize the SBPLI event so perhaps next year we can do it.

Anyone have thoughts about this, have tried this before or something?
