Green Team: The Grass Is Always Greener at Beth El

We are happy to remind everyone that Beth El Synagogue Center believes in keeping our planet safe and healthy for us and future generations.

One way we do this is with our food waste disposal - especially following our Shabbat Kiddush lunches and Friday night Shabbat dinners. Diners will find “bin triplets” (i.e., groups of three waste disposal barrels) in two locations in the ballroom. Please also look at the pictures to guide you on what goes where.

COMPOST (Green bins/bags): Compostable items include: all knives, forks, and spoons, plates, hot and cold cups, (if a Bar/Bat Mitzvah - a Green Team member will assist you) and FOOD WASTE.

RECYCLING (Blue bins/bags): Recycling items include: only metal cans and plastic bottles.

TRASH (Black bins/bags): All other items, INCLUDING LIQUIDS, plastic bags, plastic film, etc. go in the black trash bags.

PLEASE CHECK THE POSTERS ON THE BINS FOR THE LIST AND DESCRIPTIONS.

We are grateful for your cooperation in making the world a safer place for future generations!
