What waste?

For information on how much paper waste is produced on a monthly basis, what charitable donations we undertake and what individual buildings dispose of, check it out by referring to the sections below. Please be aware that the data is campus wide as opposed to being location specific. The data is applicable to this financial year running from 1st August 2010 to 31st July 2011. For more information on where your waste goes, click here.

Please note that this does not include wastes produced from outlying areas, construction activity, glass recycled through Local Authority Recycling Points, clinical waste, food waste which is macerated and goes to sewer and finally, material from the Rowett institute.
