Waste Management is fast becoming one of the hottest
topics in Ireland today. Not only have local councils
and corporations set targets and goals regarding recycling
and recovery rates, but there is increasing pressure
coming from the European Union, for Ireland to show
drastic improvements in its attitude to waste.
This section will set down what the University is doing
in relation to its management of both municipal and
hazardous waste. There are useful links to National
and European legislation, which determines how we handle
our waste. HOWEVER, before you begin to dispose of waste,
STOP and THINK!: Can the waste be eliminated? If not,
can the amount of waste be reduced, or even reused or
recycled.
All departments, staff and students must take into
consideration the disposal of waste arising from any
practices within the University. As a result of various
breaches in the disposal of waste from UCD, this document
has been drawn up as guidance when disposing of waste
This document outlines how waste is to be streamed for
UCD.
