If in doubt, put it in the mixed recyling. See our Recycling FAQs for everything you need to know about waste and recycling at LSE.
Special Recycling
There are points on campus to recycle batteries, mobile phones, CDs and DVDs, Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEE), stamps, toner and laserjet cartridges and toner and inkjet cartridges. See the the locations on this campus map.
Confidential Waste
Contact LSE Porters for blue hessian sacks with security tags.
When they are two-thirds full, contact the Porters to arrange for their collection. Sacks must be locked overnight in a cupboard or secure bin.
Reusing
To limit the amount you throw away think about how it might be used again, by you or someone else.
Relove your stuff. If you're a student living in Halls make sure you take advantage of our Relove programme. Last year 7 tonnes of stuff was dontated to charity and saved from landfill.
Moving Office?
Our Furniture Relove programme might have all that you need for your new office, or your office makeover. Contact the help desk as your first point of call to save your department resources and money.
