Recycling and Waste
Waste and Recycling milestones and target
Less than 1% of our current waste goes to landfill. This has been achieved by the increase in recycling to 41% and diverting the remaining 58% of waste to ‘energy from waste’.
Our GREEN move on campus
Share a bin with your colleagues.
Please contact us on greenmove@brunel.ac.uk to arrange to pick up your bins.
Support ‘Every Can Counts’ campaign. We are participating in the Campaign to promote drink cans recycling.
Reduce waste
We have on-site food composting to capture food waste.
Recycling on campus
- Paper recycling: You may already be familiar with the silver bins in your corridor – they shred and recycle papers.
- Mixed recycling: You will see a visible increase in mixed recycling bins in the kitchens. You can recycle aluminum cans, plastics, glass, cardboard, and metals.
Green Tips
Don’t throw away your unwanted stuff - use Freecycle.
You can reduce waste by offering your unwanted items free and it’s also a good opportunity to pick up others’ unwanted items for free. Type ‘Hillingdon’ or the name of your local town.
