(Approved by the Board on April 16th, 2003.)
College must comply with the legislative requirements governing the disposal of waste. This places an onus on all people on Campus to dispose of waste in a responsible and legal manner. Procedures are in place and available to all Departments and Offices to facilitate compliance. All staff and students are requested to co-operate and support the College Waste Management Policy by:
- Reducing the volumes of waste produced on Campus where possible
- Re-using products where possible.
- Using the facilities provided to segregate waste at source to facilitate recycling.
- To assist in raising the level of awareness and compliance it is recommended that Heads of Buildings, Faculty Heads, School Heads and Office Managers appoint representatives to consult with the service providers and to advise on waste management procedures.
College General Regulation - Page H19, paragraph 28, College Calendar 2005-2006
It is an offence to deposit litter or other waste in any location within the College perimeter other than in the designated litter bins or other waste disposal units provided on campus. It is also an offence to use College waste management or recycling facilities to dispose of personal, domestic waste of any kind - whether recyclable or not. All staff and students are requested to co-operate and support the College waste management and recycling policy by reducing the volumes of waste produced on campus, re-using products and using the facilities provided to segregate waste at source to facilitate recycling.
