Recycling Made Easy at the Halls
Recycling is a simple yet powerful wat to reduce waste and protect our environment. At our student halls, we've made it simple for you to recycle and do your part for the environment.
Start off by placing items in the correct bin inside; check the label on your bin! You should always have 2 bins: one for general waste and one for mixed recycling. General waste goes in black bags and recycling goes in clear bags.
Next, when your bins are full, be sure to take them down to the waste/recycling zones outside your accommodation and check the signs to place the bags in the correct zone. If you are unsure; please ask the Student Accommodation Team!
Follow this guide of what goes where, and you'll be a recycling pro in no time!
- Recycling – Any materials that can be recycled i.e. cans, bottles, tins etc. should be put into a clear rubbish bag and disposed of in the recycling bins provided. These are the grey bins with the Green lids.
- General Waste – Any general rubbish and food waste must be disposed of in a black rubbish bag and disposed of in the plain grey bins.

The University has established a Sustainability and Environment Policy which states that the University will:-
“Reduce our consumption of primary raw materials (water, energy etc.) and implement the principles of reduction, reuse and recycling across all of its activities so as to minimise the volume of waste sent to landfill”.
In addition the University has developed a Waste Management Policy which underpins the above statement. A recent waste audit conducted by the University’s appointed Waste Contractors indicated that the University needs to increase the level of separation of recycled waste at point of source.
A number of ad hoc schemes for recycling exist within the University and it is anticipated that both efficiency in the use of staff resource and improvements in recycling volumes, may be achieved by implementing an overarching waste recycling strategy.
