Please note that there will be different routines for disposing cardboard and residual waste at BIO depending on which building you work in.
Biologen (TM53), A & B-building
Should use the Recycling center/ “Miljøhallen” and containers behind VilVite. These two buildings require a code tag to gain access. We hope we get the code tags in place by the beginning of next week.

For your information it’s now possible to collect food waste and dispose it at the recycling center/Miljøhallen. You can collect food waste in either paper bags or plastic bags.
Bioblokken (Høyteknologisenteret, TM55)
UiB has recently installed a cardboard compactor located in the waste room in the computer block. You can access this room from the outside of the building towards the park. Only cardboard should be disposed of here. The waste room is closed, and access requires the use of your key card. We hope that access will be granted to all employees at the beginning of next week. The compactor is small, just close the door after the cardboard has been thrown into the opening. In addition, it is possible to dispose of food waste in this waste room. When full, contact the janitors.
A separate compactor for residual waste is also available outside the BIO-building. The compactor is locked with a code lock. Contact your lab manager to get the code. Operations must be contacted if the compactor is full.
