Recycling and waste disposal - what Library users can do

  • Recycling bins are provided on all floors of the Library to enable users to recycle empty plastic drinks bottles
  • We provide bins for recycling office paper. The brown bins can collect any white or coloured paper, brown and white envelopes (even with windows!), magazines, newspapers, thin card, leaflets or junk mail (with the plastic film removed)
  • Newcastle University Library hessian bags are available for purchase from the Main Counter on Level 2 for £1.50 each. Alternatively, ask a member of staff for a reusable carrier bag to carry your books to and from the Library
