The State of Recycling

The easiest and also one of the most practical green things to do - recycling! Here a summary of ongoing activity on recycling on campus:

- Around 40% of waste from academic buildings is recycled
- The university has received £2,800 from Welsh Assembly Government grant funding as part of its public sector waste reduction programme, and this funding is being used to purchase new recycling bins around campus (see below).
- The longer-term goal for Residential and Hospitality Services is to ensure wherever black-bag waste disposal points are located, there are accompanying facilities for recycled material.
- New plastic bottle and tins/can recycling facilities are being introduced at the Cwrt Mawr car park, behind the TV/Film building, and byPenbryn blocks 4/5 and 8/9 (pictures to follow soon).
- The University works with a number of external organisations in managing recycling. These organisations include Aberystwyth Recycling Centre, Action Aid,Ceredigion Recycling and Ceredigion County Council.
