We started w/ @midwestawma this morning, JCCC students in the middle, & Dutch faculty visiting campus this afternoon, then wrapped up with community tours of Open Petal Farm. If you’re looking for a great hands-on learning opportunity, we would love to have you visit! #thisisjccc

How clean do recyclables need to be before they are put in the recycling bin? You don’t have to them in the dishwasher or scrub them. All you need to do is add a little water and give a good swish until most of the contents are removed. Few spots are ok! RecycleSpot.org
