Help us work towards a more sustainable campus by using up-cycled stationery! Why buy stationery supplies when you can get them for free?! 

Where are we?

We are located in room QUAD1001A. To find us head to the Rainbow Basser Steps on the quad, turn right half way up where the large green Stationery Reuse sign is. Follow the around the corner and we are the first day on the left. During opening hours we will have A-Frame set up outside!

How to Become a Recycle Disciple

Recycling stationery isn't always easy but here are some tips for how to recycle different items:

  • Reuse what you already have and make the most of your existing supplies
  • Lever arch folders are slightly trickier to recycle. They need to be broken down into their basic elements of cardboard, plastic covering and metal. To do this you'll need a boxcutter to strip off the covering. For further instructions on how to recycle binders there are heaps of detailed instructions online
  • Facebook marketplace and charity shops, like Vinnies, are also a great place to re-home your more miscellaneous stationery items
  • For bulky items or large quantities of particular items it may be easier to take them to your local tip and recycle them there. Most tips also have an on-site place where you can donate items that are still in good working condition
