CSU staff claim office waste

1 JANUARY 2003

The traditional office rubbish bin is a thing of the past at Charles Sturt University (CSU) after the roll-out of a new waste recycling program. An initiative of CSU Green to help the University cut its landfill waste by 70 per cent by 2014, colour-coded bins have been delivered to central locations in buildings across CSU. Small desktop waste cubes have also been delivered to every office as well as paper recycling boxes for under desks. Cleaners are now only responsible for emptying the colour coded bins located in a central location rather than emptying bins in individual offices and common areas. CSU Green Energy Manager Mr Chris O’Connor said, “This waste recycling system puts the onus on staff to take responsibility for their own waste. We have tailored the new system so the office waste is sorted by the person who makes it.” The office waste recycling system has just been rolled out at CSU in Wagga Wagga, It is already in use at CSU in Albury-Wodonga, Bathurst, Dubbo and Orange.
