The College Community is encouraged to separate the waste at source using the labelled bins on the College Campus. This measure is meant to discourage the generation of waste that goes to landfill.
The Junior College through the hard work of the Environmental Committee is embracing this new perspective of waste separation on Campus as the way forward. Hence the sustainable approach to managing waste.
You are invited to use the 14 sets of bins across the College Campus:
- Yellow lid - organic (green label)
- White lid - paper (orange label)
- Blue lid - plastic (blue label)
- Green lid - mixed waste
- Bottom grey bin - metal
- Top brown lid - glass
