Waste Management.

College's Waste Management procedures are based on the three R's of reduce, reuse & recycle, i.e. reduce the amount of waste that is produced in College, reuse whatever materials we can and recycle whatever we can to ensure that the bare minimum of waste is sent to landfill. By following these procedures we can greatly reduce the amount of unnecessary waste produced by College and make a considerable financial saving by reducing the amount of ever increasing landfill charges that College has to pay.

Reduction of waste and reuse of materials are the first steps that must be taken to ensure a sound environmental policy, recycling is the last stage in the waste management process after these first two guidelines have been followed.
