It's not easy being green, but as one of our core principles, we encourage sustainability wherever possible.

As a Union, we're here to support students and lead the way to help keep it green with Eco Tips, supporting Green-Themed Student Groups or running green campaigns.

Zero-tolerance stance on illegal dumping
illegal dumping

Since 2023, Stoke-on-Trent City Council has been taking a zero-tolerance stance on illegal dumping in our towns.

Since then, we have cleared over 3400 illegal dumping incidents.

Every one of us has the responsibility to dispose of household waste legally. From bulky waste to general household waste, there is a service to ensure none of this waste makes it onto our greenspaces or our streets.
