The Vet School Green Group is a collaboration between students and staff that aims to improve the veterinary school and hospital's sustainability. We are working towards a Green Impact Award and environmental accreditation for the Department.
If you'd like to get involved, please get in touch via our survey!
Updates will be shared in the fortnightly vet school newsletter.

We have added more signs to the bins to make it clearer what can be disposed of in each, but the general rule is everything but food & soiled food containers goes into Resource Recovery! Find out more here: https://www.ch.cam.ac.uk/intranet/two-bins-choose-between-our-new-resource-recovery-system
