We’re working to create a circular economy on campus, recovering the maximum possible value from the materials we consume at Flinders.
This is a whole-of-community effort, bringing together our staff, students and retailers to improve standards and processes, so that we can avoid waste production, take back used materials where possible and/or use more sustainable alternatives.
Our waste management system incorporates colour-coded bins – making them easy-to-use and helping to avoid contamination. Bin signage incorporates images of the waste to guide you how to separate waste into our four main waste streams:
No
No
No
E-waste must be dropped off at specialised recycling drop-off points. This is essential to prevent fire hazards and the release of various toxic substances and materials into the soil and waterways. Additionally, it ensures that valuable resources such as precious metals are recovered and recycled.
What happens to General Waste on Campus?
This fuel is currently utilised by the Adelaide Brighton Cement Centre to fire their kiln.
No
In addition, we offer a special waste stream for our community to recycle household batteries via the B-cycle Battery Recycling scheme, and are always on the look-out for solutions to incorporate new waste streams.
Recycle batteries on campus at:

There are plenty of opportunities for our Flinders community to be involved in sustainability on campus.
