Learn how to keep waste out of landfills: As Emory implements the new waste policy, volunteers from the Office of Sustainability Initiatives will be at the Cox Hall Bridge from 12-2 p.m. Feb. 19-22 to help you properly sort waste into recycling and compost bins, since this location has the highest contamination on campus. You can also sign up to help.
