The Division of Infrastructure and Operations at Rhodes 老虎机游戏_pt老虎机-平台*官网 is committed to supporting the Makana 2-bag system.  

1. Daily Recyclable Waste - CLEAR Bags

• What can be recycled: Nothing wet or smelly, only clean tin/cans , plastics /polystyrene , unbroken glass bottles , paper/card (flatten if possible).

• Every day of the week recyclable waste (clear bags) can be taken along with your non-recyclable waste (blue bags) to a Waste Collection Point on campus, for collection by RU Grounds & Gardens waste truck (these bags are separated by sorters at the recycling depot - at the Grahamstown landfill site).

• Waste Collection Points (see map of RU Waste Collection Points below) are those sites on campus where cleaning staff have always taken campus waste. There is no extra work in carrying out the same number of bags as before – the only difference is that some of the bags are clear and some of the bags are blue.

• Student residences should please discuss logistics with their Housekeeper.

• Special collections - very large amounts of paper/card: please enquire about arrangements with Grounds & Gardens Refuse, Recycling and Transport Manager, 046 603 8240 or r.sait(at)ru.ac.za

More info on various types of recycling activities.
