Mini-Bin Program

Duke is moving to a deskside/mini-bin program to divert more recyclables away from the landfill. In this system, the larger blue bin is for mixed recyclable material, and the smaller black attachment is for trash.

When your bins are full, take them to the centrally located bins in your building and empty the contents. If your building supports composting, deposit your compostable materials in the centralized bins as needed. Duke Housekeeping empties the centrally located bins on a regular basis.

For more information about this program, contact Duke Recycles at (919) 660-1448.

Step 1: Distribute

• Duke Sanitation and Recycling will distribute mini bins to your room or office.
• The larger blue bin is for mixed recyclable materials. The smaller black bin is for trash.

Step 2: Collect

• Begin collecting recyclables and waste in your mini bin.

Step 3: Deposit

• Once your recycling or waste bins fill up, just take them to the larger collection bins in your building and deposit the materials into the appropriate area.
• Drop off compostable materials in the centralized bin in your building as needed.
