Due to a fall in the price of recycled paper, the University recycling service has had to be restricted to white paper only. Whilst the market for white paper/computer paper is comparatively stable, it has become financially unviable for Magpie Recycling Co-operative to continue to collect our low-grade paper (coloured, glossies, envelopes and newspaper). This is clearly a regrettable situation for all concerned. Please rest assured that the University will continue to collect office white paper. On average, a tonne and a half of paper is collected every week but there is still lots of room for improvement. Are you and your colleagues separating out all your white paper for recycling? If not, now is the time! Although Magpie is unable to offer a service to collect low grade paper throughout the University, Aylesford Newsprint have established a national collection scheme, so if you are keen to recycle your coloured paper, magazines and newspapers, please take them down to the recycling site at York House. Directories, catalogues and envelopes cannot be recycled anywhere on campus at present. | |
