A SCHEME to encourage students at the University of Worcester to recycle their waste is in line to win one of the top prizes at this year’s Green Apple Awards for Environmental Best Practice.
The joint initiative between the university and Worcester City Council was launched last year and saw a number of large green and black bins placed around campus. They are emptied by the city council as part of its recycling scheme.
The city council and the university designed stickers to raise awareness of the initiative and organised visits to all student flats to explain exactly what and how to recycle.
Representatives of the scheme have been invited to attend the Green Apple Awards Ceremony at the House of Commons tonight, when the winners will be announced.
