Look out for our ‘roving slop bin’, making an appearance on various Library floors this month. It’s on test from University Estates & Facilities. Is this the solution to the problem of where to dispose of unfinished drinks before discarding the container? Use it and we might get more bins!

As you may already have seen, Library recycling is rubbish at exam time! Recycling drops during revision time when we may feel stressed. However, one contaminated cup or food container in a recycling bin means the recycling company won’t take it.

Please help us buck the trend and put used cups in a grey landfill bin after slopping out. Empty plastic bottles can go in blue recycling bins.
