This Waste Awareness Week, we worked with external partners, the University’s Housing Office and Campus Life to deliver a variety of activities to encourage students to think more about sustainable waste practices, as well as clean up the local area!  

On top of a quiz night, talk from a waste management professional, leftover food evening, and clothing repair workshop, there was also a big litter pick that travelled all over the university campus and the local beaches to clean up our streets and make the campus a more pleasant place to wander. One of our cost-of-living events also happened as part of the week's schedule, providing students with an opportunity to swap or repair preloved items instead of throwing them away!
