Waste & Recycling<br />
Waste & Recycling is an important part of the King’s<br />
College London sustainability strategy. Our aim is to<br />
increase the percentage of our recycled waste to<br />
70%.<br />
We want to help you make smart decisions about<br />
what you consume on campus and how to get<br />
the most of out it, before disposing of it in an<br />
environmentally friendly way.<br />
Reducing waste, reusing materials and products<br />
and recycling are some of the most powerful ways<br />
that students, staff and visitors can protect the<br />
environment.<br />

Reduce waste by buying goods more efficiently. Think<br />
before you buy and use items like the King's Keep Cup<br />
instead of disposable coffee cups.<br />
Reuse<br />
Reuse in-house furniture and equipment with<br />
schemes like Warp It via www.warp-it.co.uk/<br />
company/kcl. Every year, thousands of students<br />
move out of our halls of residence. We work in<br />
partnership with local charities to ensure that the<br />
vast majority of equipment left behind is reused.<br />
Recycle your glass, paper, plaster, metal, cardboard<br />
and empty food containers such as tins, cans<br />
and tinfoil. Printer cartridges and batteries can<br />
be recycled seperately in bespoke bins across<br />
university campuses. Please contact ask@kcl.ac.uk<br />
if you need to dispose of electrical waste. Speak<br />
to your resources contract or lab manager about<br />
disposal of clinical or hazardous waste.<br />
Why is recycling important?<br />
There are many good reasons for adding recycling to<br />
your routine, ranging from a personal level to a global<br />
advantage. Recycling your waste makes you more<br />
responsible in the way you use and dispose of it. You<br />
can save money for yourself and your university, as well<br />
as saving the planet.<br />
