NORFOLK, Va. — Norfolk State University is looking to create a smarter and greener campus, and one way they hope to do so is with the arrival of 20 solar-powered trash and recycling bins.
School officials said the Bigbelly bins include a solar-powered smart waste compactor, a battery compactor, and recycling bins.
Locations include the campus' main lawn, common areas, student centers, sports complexes and more.
NSU reminds people that recyclable items cardboard, newspapers, magazines, office paper, junk mail, file folders, water bottles, steel cans, tin cans, aluminum, milk/juice cartons, and soup containers. They ask that you not recycle food waste, restroom waste, medical waste, electronics, batteries, light bulbs, ceramics, heat-resistant glass, Styrofoam, and household trash.
