Leave Newcastle Happy


Various, Newcastle University

Leave Newcastle Happy. Don't Trash the Toon.

This annual campaign was invented to help students moving out of private accommodation to get rid of waste responsibly. Helping us build a positive relationship between the student and local community. 

We're collaborating with Newcastle Students Union, Northumbria University and Newcastle City Council to provide free to use rubbish skips for excess household waste and items not suitable for donation in:

  • Heaton (Friday 29th May - Friday 5th June)

  • Jesmond/ Jesmond West (Friday 5th June - Friday 12th June)

Pop-up Recycling Centre

Newcastle City Council and YHN are working in partnership to provide accessible free recycling services in the local area to help those who don't have access to a car. 

For donatable, but unloved items use our map to find drop off points for books/ clothes/ electrics/ homeware etc!
