Horse Power Reduces Student Waste!

An old fashioned horse and dray took to the streets of Nottingham to help students clean out their homes and reduce landfill waste!

The unusual initiative is part of the annual waste, recycling and charity collection drive, run by The University of Nottingham and Nottingham City Council.

As well as offering guidance on charity donation bins, drop off points for food parcels and bin collection dates, a horse and dray combed the streets of Lenton to collect reuseable items straight from the doorsteps of the houses being vacated.

Tonnes of waste was removed and the horse and dray was a fantastic engagement tool to remind students of their social responsibilities before they leave the city.  

Simple steps to reduce contamination in your recycling bin!
