You said, we’ve done. Over the last few years we’ve heard from lots of you about how difficult it is to recycle your rubbish in Uni halls and that sounds like a real Pane in the Glass!

Generating over 1000 tonnes of waste each year the uni remains committed to it’s “zero-waste-to-landfill” policy and has worked with the union to help separate and recover more of the useful materials from our rubbish. Meanwhile the uni’s other waste goes to produce electricity for the city, helping keep the lights on!

VP Sam Pillow said “Its fantastic to see the ResLife supporting our students choices. Recycling is an everyday thing, students are surprised they can’t separate their waste in halls, This is an important first step in getting the whole Uni on board with the green agenda. We will be working with estates to make sure students can recycle even more by September 2018!”
