Hi there, 

Thank you for your submission. The black bins in the library and WSA are on a trial period to see if students seperate their waste and whether it's financially and practically worthy of implementing the seperate waste bins on our different sites. I will ensure your feedback (which many other students have also raised with me re. where is the general waste bit tho? and also the size) is passed on for estates to include when reviewing the trial. 

Furthermore, our ethics and environment officer and the University estates and facilities team to produce and promote bold and bright and engaging "what goes where" posters and ads to help students dispose of waste effectively. 

Finally, we have been in discussions about increasing the bin collections and this is going to take place- particuarly around exams. 

I hope this answers your questions. If you would like to be invovled in the conversations about sustainability on our campus, please do contact me directly at vpwelfare@susu.org or come along to (open to anyone) a sustainability zone meeting! Our next one is taking place November 26th 1pm-3pm. 

Best wishes,
