We have been working to strengthen our link with Oxford's universities, colleges and student groups to encourage students to play a leading role in our recycling campaign.
We have a Student Liaison Officer for Recycling, whose role is to improve communication between us and the universities, to help facilitate and promote recycling at the colleges, and with students.
