Recycle This!

Recycle This!

Members of OUSU Environment Committee staged a protest outside the Town Hall last Monday, brandishing placards and wearing hats made from newspaper.

The aim of the demonstration was to highlight the Council's inability to implement the in-college recycling schemes that it had promised nearly a year ago.

The Council first pledged to create college-based recycling by April 2002. Yet its inability to meet that deadline, as well as subsequent ones, has led students to criticize the bureaucracy of the system.

OUSU Environment Committee is hoping to step up the pressure on the Council to ensure that it meets its new deadline of April 2003.
