With the help of the UQ Green Ambassador Program's Sustainability Council, UQ now has a new recycling station for students and staff.
The drop off station is located in the Kingham Room foyer (Building 21C) and is for hard-to-recycle household items that can’t be recycled though your yellow topped wheelie bin. Items that can be recycled include:
- Small e-waste
- Soft plastics
- Mobile phones
- Household batteries
- Printer ink cartridges
- Oral care products
- Eye glasses
- Stationary Items
- DVD's and CD's
- Paper
You can bring your hard-to-recycle- household items here, not only throughout Sustainability Week, but every week of the year!
Please note: All events and spaces are operating in line with current guidelines. We ask that you please practice social distancing at all times, wear a mask and follow the University's Level 2 post-lockdown restrictions as part of our Business Continuity Plan.
Learn more about what items can be recycled at this 'Reuse & Recycle Station' here!
