Our lovely Rocket composter is producing some amazing quality compost these days…Paul the operator has got the mix perfect.

I don’t want to shout about this too much but as a gesture of thanks, I want to make this material available to staff and students who require compost for gardens and allotments.

This will be a permanent offer which will continue indefinately. So no need to be in a mad rush to get it.

Please brings your bags with you. There are one or two spades for you to help yourself as well as a barrow.

You can collect compost from the Building Science Yard between 1.30-3.30pm every Friday. When you open this link ‘zoom’ out to get a better picture of where Building Science Yard is on campus.

We have a new member in our recycling family.

Put your hands together and give a warm welcome to CERAMICS!

We are now able to accept ceramics for recycling- including plates, cups, jars, pottery, art works etc and anything else made of ceramics …(even tacky figurines!!).

If the ceramics are reusuable please advertise them on the reuse list: http://www.ncl.ac.uk/estates/services/waste/disposal/Furniture.htm

If broken: Please put any broken clean uncontaminated ceramics in the glass recycling containers.

Ceramics are processed in Bedlington by http://www.recycleitall.com/ to make aggregate for road building.
