Clean campus
Cleaning
Desks, window sills, windows and floors will only be cleaned if cleaning company staff are able to reach them. Our cleaners are not allowed to move any items.
Separating waste
At all UvA locations, we separate our waste into 4 waste streams:
- Organic waste
- Residual waste and cans
- Plastic and drinks cartons
- Paper
Having doubts? Check the pictures above the bin.
Waste that is not put into the correct bin results in all the waste in that bin having to be incinerated.
Waste that is not put into the correct bin results in all the waste in that bin having to be incinerated. By the bins, you are therefore shown what should go in which bin. Read more about our waste policy and our objectives

Deposit donation bins
At the restaurant checkouts, you will often find deposit donation bins (recognizable by the orange lid). The deposit from cans and bottles collected in these bins is donated to Trees for All and the Plastic Soup Foundation.
Unfortunately, other waste is often thrown into these bins as well, making it impossible to return the bottles and cans. As a result, they are not recycled, and the deposit cannot be donated to charity. Since this system does not always work well, we will not be placing additional deposit donation bins.
