🔋 Other recyclable items:

Batteries - donate old batteries to the battery bin in your Hall reception

❌ Items not listed above:

Sadly not quite everything can be donated to your reception's collection box so be sure to read what you can and cannot donate first.

Avoid contaminating the donation points! Any unwanted items can't be donated to BHF or Fareshare should go in a general waste or mixed recycling bin. 

We know that not all plastics are easily recyclable or that you might have old tech to get rid of. Check out the official Leave Liverpool Tidy page for more info on donating on campus.
