What Happens To Our Recycling
Sustainable Waste Management for the 2009/2010
- The Sustainability Unit is rolling out Food Waste Recycling at all Halls of Residences and Student Accommodation in 2009 / 2010. We estimate this will allow us to divert up to 80 tones of waste from landfill per annum.
- The range of materials you can recycle is expanding including plastic cups and newspapers. Download a recycling poster for your office for more information.
