Paper

Please use the yellow bags provided by your bedder. If not available please email jcrgreen@cai.cam.ac.uk for a yellow bag.

Plastic and Metal Cans

Follow the advice given out by the local council and ask your landlord about arrangements. There should be a box outside the house for general recycling.

Mobile Phones

If you have an old mobile phone you would like recycled, please put it into my pigeon hole (Eberhard, S) and I will send it off. Charities receive a small amount for each phone that is recycled, so much better than throwing them away!

Printer Cartridges

As with mobile phones, please put empty printer ink or toner cartridges into my pigeon hole (Eberhard, S) and I will send them away to be recycled. For those cartridges that can be refilled charities get a small amount of money for each one, those that can't be refilled are dismantled and recycled.

Batteries

Batteries are classed as hazardous waste so ideally should not be thrown out with normal rubbish. Rechargeable batteries in particular contain harmful metals. Please put any used batteries into my pigeon hole (Eberhard, S) and once I have a few I will take them to the Milton Recycling Centre to be recycled. Please put any damaged or leaky batteries in a plastic bag or envelope so they don't get goo on my pigeon hole.
