Food waste recycling
Good news; we are rolling-out more food waste recycling bins across the University during 2025!
You can put all kinds of food waste in the special food waste recycling bins and caddies that are located inside campus buildings. Please look out for and use the dedicated food waste recycling points in and near catering outlets and cafés, and in key locations such as foyers, kitchenettes and common areas (there is a list of current locations below, so you can find your closest bin).
Larger catering outlets have bins with 'Organics' written on them (see left-hand image below). Various other types of food recycling bins (see middle images) and food recycling caddies (see right-hand images) are located in buildings across the University:
Please don't put any glass or metal or plastic packaging in the food waste recycling bins.
Metal items and clean plastics should be put in bins for Dry Mixed Recycling.
All packaging that is contaminated with food or liquid should be put in bins for non-recyclable General Waste.
