• White  and coloured office paper
• Newspapers and magazines
• Pamphlets, brochures and leaflets
• Telephone Directories and books - small quantities only please, do not over load the bin with these as it could be a manual handing issue for the cleaners.*
• Post-it-notes
• Envelopes with and without windows

*If you have large volumes of books,  journals, publications or directories please contact sustainability-estates@bristol.ac.uk for a special collection.
