Polystyrene
Toner cartridges
Polystyrene is used for a number of purposes at UniSA. The procedure for recycling
these materials is as follows:
-
If
you are expecting a shipment of computers, intend to clean out an area
or have a pile of polystyrene
to be recycled, write an email to
your local Campus Services Coordinator (CSC) and give them an approximate
date
for the delivery, clean out, etc. Small pieces or odds and ends of
polystyrene can be left beside
the 240L paper recycling bins for pick
up by the cleaners.
-
When
advising the CSCs of a delivery, clean out, etc., remember to include
the room number, and an approximate volume of the material. Advising
the CSCs ahead of time will allow them to have extra bins
ready when
you are.
-
The
cleaning staff and Site services will work together to remove the
material.
-
All
polystyrene will be placed in dedicated polystyrene bins.
-
If
you have a large amount of polystyrene that you need to get rid of in
a hurry, you can place a work order
via the MP2 (Online
CSR) system to have it
removed.
The
Campus Service Coordinators are as follows:
Ian
Bastable, City West
ian.bastable@unisa.edu.au
, David Applebee CityEast david.applebee@unisa.edu.au,
Justin Faggotter Mawson Lakes
justin.faggotter@unisa.edu.au
and Gordon Todd at Magill
gordon.todd@unisa.edu.au
If you do not have a facility for toner cartridge recycling e.g.
you do not return it to your supplier or do not return it for a
refund/ rebate, you may leave your toner cartridge (preferably in
its original box) by your nearest waste bin for recycling. The
cleaners will pick up the used cartridges whilst on their rounds.
Please ensure that you do not leave full cartridges near your waste
bins!
