1 to Waste and Recycling This guide has been produced by Paul Thomas of the university s Sustainability Team in conjunction with the Estates Department % recycled This brochure is printed on 100% recycled paper /13
2 Welcome This guide is intended to provide basic advice to ensure our waste does not harm human health and the environment and that we maximise our recycling rate. We all have a duty of care to ensure that waste is stored and disposed of properly. The University of Gloucestershire is committed to promoting and practising sustainability. It seeks to engage students, staff and stakeholders in living and learning for sustainability. This guide, developed by the Sustainability Team as part of the university s Promising Futures Sustainability Strategy, is seeking to contribute to targets to reduce the volume of waste produced by 25%, as well as to increase recycling rates to 75% by This will help us reduce our environmental footprint, use resources more efficiently and minimise waste disposal costs. We appreciate that recycling can be confusing and hopefully this guide goes some way to help clarify what and how to recycle here at the university. However, remember the old adage reduce, reuse, recycle - it is always best to minimise the generation of waste and reuse items before recycling! Aerosols At present aerosols must be placed in the general waste bins. Asbestos Asbestos can only be disposed of by specialist contractors. Any material suspected of being asbestos must be reported to the Estates Management Helpdesk immediately. T: E: estateshelpdesk@glos.ac.uk A Reduce For example, ask suppliers to take back packaging; buy more energy efficient and durable products; photocopy and print double-sided; print in reduced density and in draft mode. Reuse Batteries Collection points for batteries are now available at all campus receptions and Students Union offices. Look out for the tall, transparent containers. Batteries are collected and recycled by XPO IT Services. B For example, use paper from misprints and drafts as a note pad; use cardboard boxes for packaging; send printer toner cartridges for reuse (see Printer and Toner Cartridges in the guide). Recycle Bicycles Please do not abandon bicycles on campus they are unsightly and encourage theft. Unwanted bikes can be donated to the Gloucestershire Bike Project to be refurbished or can be disposed of by the caretakers. See the guide for advice and also buy products containing recycled materials to close the loop. Do please use the appropriate container for your waste and please do not leave waste outside the containers. The majority of everyday items can go into the dry mixed recycling bins around sites - details on specific items are available below. For specific questions on waste, a list of useful contacts is available at the end of this guide. Biological Wastes Please seek advice from the Health, Safety and Environment Team on procedures for the safe handling and disposal of biological material. Books Can they be reused? If so, then try advertising on Amazon or donating to a local charity shop. If reuse is not possible, small numbers of books can be placed in the paper recycling bins. For disposal of larger quantities please contact campus caretakers. The University Library Service donates unwanted library books to Better World Books who use the money raised to fund literacy projects both in the UK and abroad. To date the university has donated over 15,000 books, saving nearly 250 trees
3 C Cables Contact the ICT Helpdesk for advice. Cables are recycled by XPO IT Services. Cans Cans should be placed in the recycling bins around campuses. Please rinse first but there is no need to remove labels. These are collected by Grundon and recycled into new cans.

To dispose of large amounts or corrugated cardboard please contact your campus caretakers. If possible arrange for the supplier to take the packaging away with them as part of the order.
