Greenhouse Trash Disposal 

Please remember to separate the soil and plant materials from other trash (plastic, pots, clay pots, paper, wood, etc.) when disposing of greenhouse projects. 

Grey Trash bins labeled ‘Trash Only’ should be used to dispose of non-plant/soil materials like plastics, paper, wood, metal, etc. 

Greenhouse Plant Waste Disposal

White Plant Waste (Compost) bins labeled ‘Soil or Plant Materials’ should be used to dispose of plant or soil materials that are unregulated. 

Regulated or transgenic materials should always be autoclaved following our greenhouse/DRS policy.  

DO NOT OVERFILL the trash or compost containers; if you cannot lift them, neither can we. Please do not overload the trash or plant waste bins more than halfway with heavy materials.  

If you fill up more than one container at a time when disposing of projects, please empty them as a courtesy for other greenhouse users.  

If you have questions about disposing of materials or would like to request transgenic/regulated plant waste pickup contact your greenhouse manager
