Recycling
Recycling points can be found at the following places in College:
The Lensfield Road houses also have black recycling boxes for cans, paper tins and glass (these go out every other Thursday) and there are paper recycling bins in the MCR and the flats in the Singer building.
There is a Council recycling point behind the New Museums Site (by the Lion Yard car park next to Soul Tree), where paper, cans, plastic, glass and clothes are collected for recycling. You can find this recycling point in this map. However... reduce and re-use are always preferable to recycling.
