Colleges
We collect materials for recycling from nearly all Cambridge University colleges, and from Anglia Ruskin University. Internal collection arrangements are usually organised by students with help from porters, bursars and housekeeping staff.
If you would like to see recycling at your college improved, please contact your green officer or a member of facilities staff, who can arrange a service with the council.
