Biocycle Description
What is BioCycle?
BioCycle is Southampton’s first ever student-led food waste recycling scheme. With this scheme, we hope to benefit the local community by recycling and repurposing otherwise wasted food.
In preventing unnecessary food waste from going to landfill, by re-using it locally, we hope to encourage sustainability within Southampton and the strong student community, changing the way people view recycling.
How does it work?
The scheme will provide students with food waste caddies and bin liners at a small fee of £10, simultaneously allowing them to register with a regular weekly food waste pickup service and receive all other necessary materials. All collected food waste will be taken to Aldermoor Community Farm.
How can you get involved?
There are several ways you can be involved with this scheme! If you are a student at the University of Southampton and are interested in purchasing a caddy, to have your food waste collected from your doorstep, then please fill out the following reservation form: https://goo. gl /forms /ENYUJOvsQHJyOvq23
