Waste and Recycling Uplift Request Form
This form should be used to notify the Waste & Recycling Team that an uplift of bagged, boxed or loose items is required. If items are working and reusable, please consider using the University’s free reuse portal (WARPit) first: https://www.warp-it.co.uk/universityofedinburgh - someone else need them!
Items must normally be packaged and/or contained in some way. Please use CLEAR bags for recyclable materials such as clean plastics, card or paper and BLACK bags for non-recyclable items such as polystyrene or laminated materials. Cardboard should be flattened and tied into bales that can be carried.
External contractors may need to be brought in for large clearouts – particularly for bulky or unpackaged items.
Items must be packaged appropriately to ensure that they are safe for transport (e.g. no sharp items in bags, bags not over-full).
This form must NOT be for hazardous or chemical waste or Waste Electrical & Electronic Equipment or refrigerated items. For guidance on how such items should be disposed of, please refer to the “How do I dispose of…?” guide at http://www.ed.ac.uk/recycling.
