Did you know that today is Global Recycling Day? Here in the SSL we have clearly labelled waste points located around the library to help you easily separate your waste into General Waste and Dry Mixed Recycling.

Not sure what goes where?  Please check the signs by the bins.

We know recycling can get a bit complicated so if an item doesn’t fall into any of the categories on the Dry Mixed Recycling sign, please put it in the General Waste bin. 

These items should always go in General Waste:

• Sweet and chocolate bar wrappers
• Tissues, serviettes, and paper towels
• Packaging contaminated with food

If in doubt, please leave it out!  Bags of recycling contaminated with these items have to be rejected and disposed of as General Waste instead.

To find out more about recycling and waste at the University, take a look at the Environmental Sustainability Team’s Waste Management page.

Thank you for keeping the SSL green and helping us recycle as much as possible.
