An overview of recycling waste for those who live, work and study at Scotland's Universities and Colleges.
What does recycle mean?
Recycle means using waste materials to manufacture other products. Recycling materials like cans, glass, paper and cardboard means that these resources can be used to make new products.
What happens to the materials that I recycle?
The materials that you recycle are reprocessed into new products; for example, food and drinks cans are recycled into building materials, car parts or new cans. Visit the recycle section for further information.
How can I start recycling on campus?
Visit the Case Studies section to see how other universities and colleges have successfully implemented recycling services.
