According to an analysis, more than 50% of the waste in mixed-waste bins at the university could still be sorted and processed. What can you do about it? If you live in the dormitories, you will have the chance in the coming days to pick up reusable recycling bags free of charge.

You keep these bags in your room/unit and take them out yourself to the designated outdoor containers near the dorms. Each bag set is marked with a code for record-keeping. When picking up the bags, you’ll fill in a short form – entering the set number (written on the bag), the dorm where you live, and your contact details (email and phone number).

The return takes place at the end of the summer semester; bags must be returned clean and washed. Those who wish to keep their sets over the summer holidays can arrange this individually via email.
