The University of Otago uses method bins, which are placed around campus to encourage the diversion of waste from landfill.
Waste can be placed in the appropriate bin around campus and within departments. Desk pods are small bins that are designed to pre-sort waste before being emptied into method bins.
Method bins are emptied by cleaning contractors on a regular basis. Staff members are encouraged to empty their own desk pods. Landfill bins are emptied daily. Recycling, paper, and glass bins are emptied when they are half or three-quarters full.
All front load bins and wheelie bins are collected on a predetermined schedule.
