The Gardening Team have constructed a new on-campus composting bay for a green waste recycling pilot.
Previously, our green waste was transported in skips and composted off-site by our waste contractor, and then sold to third parties.
By creating a closed-loop system, this trial aims to cut emissions from transporting our green waste and resulting compost - with absolute control over compost content, biosecurity and infestation risks.
The pilot received the first load of green waste on 14 February 2024.
