Trash Chutes

The trash chutes are now open! Please use them for any non-recyclable garbage that fits in the mouth of the chute. If a bag or an item doesn't fit, don't force it, just pile it at the top of the ramp on the first floor by the lounge. Also, try to recycle! We're big on being green here at 13th Street, so if it's cardboard or bottles or glass and recyclable, put it in a recycling bin!


Happy Monday!
