Source separation of waste at MED

The goal is that UiO as a whole should sort 80 per cent of its waste by the end of 2018. Source separation will be implemented in the majority of our buildings in October 2016.

Source separation of waste – what, where and why?

When will source separation be available to me?

Many of our employees and students are located in buildings operated by third parties. Source separation will not apply to them. Source separation of waste will be implemented in the Faculty’s buildings, as well as some other selected buildings:

  • Harald Schjelderups hus
  • Domus Medica, includng its new extension
  • Department of Pharmacology, 2nd floor
  • Nedre Ullevaal/ Stjerneblokka
  • Fredrik Holsts hus
  • Sogn Arena


All dustbins will be removed shortly after the deployment of the sorting points. Boxes for recycling of paper will be left in place.

Laboratory waste has been exempted from source separation in this round. Regular routines for waste management in the laboratories will thus remain unchanged.
