The grand opening of our Recycling Hub took place on the 6th of November, in attendance were the team who helped to create the Recycling Hub together with the skip waste contractors, East Kent Recycling.
The Recycling Hub allows us to safely store and manage recyclable materials, such as wooden pallets and separate non processed woods such as timber. Our recycling percentages have been increasing year on year with our 2016-2017 percentage being 67%, this is 5% higher than 2015-2016!
All users of the Recycling Hub are required to sign and return the acknowledgement form found in the Recycling Hub User Guide, the guide has been distributed to Estates staff who will be using the site. If you have not received one please contact the FM Coordinator estatesfmcoordinator@kent.ac.uk or visit Emma Dimond, Room G26 to collect one. Once completed the form needs to be returned to the FM Coordinator.
The team also had the opportunity to be interviewed by KMTV in relation to our Recycling Hub and recent recycling stats at Kent, follow the link to watch the video http://www.kentonline.co.uk/kmtv/video/south-east-third-in-uk-for-recycling-8789/
