Queen's Carbon Journey

The University sector has been identified by the Government as key to delivering carbon reduction across the United Kingdom. Queen's is committed to improving its environmental performance and fundamentally changing the way it works so that it becomes an environmentally sustainable low carbon organisation. 

Students

Students have a key role in improving the environmental performance of Queen's and all students living in Queen's Accommodation are expected to be aware of their responsibility to reduce energy usage and recycle where possible.

Accommodation and Hospitality runs a number of initiatives to make students aware of the difference they can make by being more environmentally aware.

Recycling in Elms Village

Each kitchen has three recycling bags which are clearly labelled. We encourage all students to recycle paper, cardboard, plastic, tin and glass. Dry recycling facilities are located throughout Elms Village and a glass recycle area is located opposite the Treehouse.

Residents are responsible for taking their recyclable materials to the recycle points on a regular basis - the housekeeping staff  DO NOT remove these materials.

All glass bottles and jars must be taken to the glass recycling point. Glass must not be put in the general waste as this may result in injury of residents or housekeeping staff.

 

Recycling in Queen's Houses

There is no glass recycling available in Grant House or 76 Malone Road, however, residents of these houses can use the facilities at the Elms Village opposite the Treehouse.

Residents are responsible for taking their recyclable materials to the recycle points located at the rear of the properties on a regular basis - the housekeeping staff  DO NOT remove these materials.

All glass bottles and jars must be taken to the glass recycling point. Glass must not be put in the general waste as this may result in injury of residents or housekeeping staff.
