Use the waste hierarchy to guide the
development and implementation of a
waste and recycling strategy to minimise
waste production, promote re-use and
recycling activities, and minimise waste-tolandfill. Promote re-use through the Warpit system. Instigate awareness-raising
campaigns and train Warp-it Champions
across the University. Ensure recycling
facilities are available across the University
and that appropriate awareness raising
activities are undertaken. Ensure all
relevant staff are appropriately trained.
Carry out due diligence on waste carrier
and maintain documentation for legal
compliance.
Centralise responsibility for skip ordering
with the designated Waste Manager.
Minimise landfill by providing facilities for
separate wood, metal, green waste and
residual landfill waste skips at all sites.
Enable recovery of segregated materials by
BSU students for re-use. Carry out due
diligence on waste carrier and maintain
documentation for legal compliance.
Ensure all electrical equipment is disposed
of via the WARP-it system and re-used
where possible. Store all non-reusable
electrical items in designated, locked WEEE
store for re-cycling by a registered WEEE
contractor. Carry out due diligence on
WEEE contractor. Maintain WEEE
