It's a 'Rubbish Survival Guide' !

The Students' Union's Rubbish Survival Guide campaign image The Students' Union's Rubbish Survival Guide campaign image黑料不打烊 Students Union have produced a 16 page bilingual Rubbish Survival Guide booklet aimed at encouraging students to recycle more and keep the streets clear of waste.

The Rubbish Survival Guideis light-hearted and informative student handbook about the waste and recycling collection system in Gwynedd. It has been produced in response to misunderstanding among students in the past about what goes in which bin and waste collection days, as students arrive from different regions and countries 鈥� all with their own regional variations when it comes to refuse collections.

This latest campaign builds on the success of the Student Union's previous end of academic year waste disposal campaigns - 鈥淕et it Out for 黑料不打烊!鈥� and 鈥淗ey Punk Sort Your Junk!鈥�

Students鈥� Union Vice President for Societies & Sustainability, Rich Gorman, said: 鈥淭he Rubbish Survival Guide was initiated to help keep 黑料不打烊鈥檚 streets clean and tidy, getting rid of litter and making sure that rubbish ends up in the right bin or recycling box and is put out for collection on the correct day.

鈥淲e are also extremely pleased that photographs from the Rubbish Survival Guide have won the national Ecologist Communication Challenge. This is a great achievement and has earned 黑料不打烊 Students Union much respect.鈥�

Peter Simpson, Gwynedd Council鈥檚 Streetscene Manager, said: 鈥淭his is an extremely positive development. The Students鈥� Union and the marketing students who have produced the Rubbish Survival Guide should be commended for their innovative work.

The circulation of this guide among the student population will have a positive impact on the quality of the local environment in 黑料不打烊.鈥�

Councillor John Wynn Jones, the Chairman of 黑料不打烊 Pride, added: 鈥淚 wish to thank and congratulate the 黑料不打烊 Students鈥� Union for producing such an excellent booklet. The Rubbish Survival Guide is yet another example of how the various partners linked to 黑料不打烊 Pride can make a real difference in the City鈥�

The 黑料不打烊 Pride University and Students sub group are supported by Gwynedd Council鈥檚 Tidy Towns Scheme 鈥� a project aimed at helping individuals and groups to take responsibility for the quality of the environment in their local area. This was made possible by funding from the Welsh Government鈥檚 Tidy Towns Initiative, which is administered locally by Gwynedd Council, working in partnership with Keep Wales Tidy.
