You should make sure that you empty packages completely and give them a quick rinse before you recycle them. Below you can find examples of what you can recycle and what goes in the different bins.

Be aware that if you put things in the wrong bin, it will contaminate the whole waste load which means that they cannot send that waste to be recycled. So, please take an extra couple of seconds to put things in the correct bin so they can help divert as much waste from going to landfill as possible.

Almost anything made of glass can be recycled, so make sure you put items like glass bottles and jars in the right bin and do not recycle broken glass or light bulbs. Anything that does not feature a recycling label must be put in the refuse bin. Other items that are not recyclable include: batteries, electrical appliances, kitchen waste, polystyrene, foam and sanitary products.

Firhill Court is everything I wanted from halls. There’s the perfect balance of social life and privacy, with plenty of things to do in and around the area, and for an extremely competitive price. The location couldn’t be better; only a walk away from a 24-hour gym, multiple great stores and, with the shuttle bus service, only a short (free) ride away from the university and or downtown. One thing I really appreciate is having a bathroom all to myself so I can schedule as I see fit.

Living in Firhill Court helps me get the best view of the city and enjoy free football games biweekly. All my roommates are super nice, although we come from different countries. All the accommodation staff do an excellent job of helping the students. This is a very convenient place, and you can walk to the nearby supermarket for around 10-15 minutes, like TESCO and Lydl. You can walk along the river and climb the small hill. This accommodation provides a free shuttle bus service from Monday to Friday, and you can walk to the university like me to exercise for 20-25 minutes. I feel so lucky to live in such a nice place.
