This week is the Week without Waste: a great moment to remind ourselves how we go about separating waste at the UvA. If everyone puts their waste in the right bin, we should be able to recycle a massive 96% of waste. On the other hand, if plastic waste ends up in the organic waste bin, the whole batch may be rejected because it’s no longer suitable for recycling. What a waste!
What goes where? Each bin comes with a description of what goes in it. You can find a complete list of what goes in each bin here (pdf). Help us to achieve better waste recycling at the UvA. Turn your waste into a valuable raw material by putting it in the right bin.
