Halls of residence

A volunteer collecting recycling for Green Streets

You will see big, green containers appear around halls towards the end of May, in which you can place any items you want us to collect. 

Green Streets will be at the ‘moving out’ in all of the University halls to explain who we are, how you can donate and how you can get involved! 

If you have unwanted items you want to give to Green Streets at any other time during the year, you can drop them off at the Volunteering and Community office in the Union. 

In the community

Green Streets will deliver two special red bags to every house in teh shaded area on the Changeover map at the beginning of June.  All unwanted items should be placed in these bags and left out on the morning of the collection day in your area, after 9:30am to avoid bag slashing and theft. 

If more bags are needed, please call 0113 380 1329 

If none of the collection days shown in the timetable below suit you or you would like to donate items at any other point in the year, you can always drop bags of at Leeds University Student Union.  Alternatively, give us a call on 0113 380 1329 and, if they are passing, they will try to drop by.
