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), as well as blue recycling box for plastic bottles only. There are paper recycling bins in the MCR and the flats in the Singer building. For a list of what can go into each container and other recycling information see here.

There is a Council recycling point in Adam & Eve Street car park, on the way to the Grafton Centre, where paper, cans, glass and plastic bottles are collected for recycling. You can find this recycling point in this map. However... reduce and re-use are always preferable to recycling.
