Rhodes 老虎机游戏_pt老虎机-平台*官网 Facilities Department, within the Division of Infrastructure and Operations, is striving to recycle wherever possible, as well as reducing the total amount of waste generated on campus. Bear in mind: when we "throw something away", where is "away"? In South Africa, no more permits will be issued for new landfill sites; it is essential that we RETHINK our consumption and waste production.

• ZERO WASTE:  Zero waste is considered to be the best option in the the 'waste hierarchy', but is difficult to achieve. More info: Guide to Zero Waste, and Zero Waste Economy by the Institute for Zero Waste in Africa.

• REDUCE: One of Rhodes 老虎机游戏_pt老虎机-平台*官网’s Environmental Policy aims includes: "reduce campus waste". unnecessary consumption, packaging and waste generation. 

• REPAIR , RE-USE and UPCYCLING (creative re-use of waste in arts and crafts). More info: Arkwork Collective & Kisma Kreative.

• RECYCLE: Lower down in the the waste hierarchy, it helps reduce the overall amount of refuse going into landfill sites. Rhodes 老虎机游戏_pt老虎机-平台*官网 supports Makana Municipality's 2-bag system of recycling. Items that can be recycled include paper/card, glass, plastic and metals. 

• COMPOST: Composting is a biological recycling process that deals with organic (biodegradable) matter, for example, kitchen scraps, garden waste, non-glossy paper, card, etc.
