Salesian College recognizes the need to function all year round in a manner which minimizes its harmful environmental impact. To this end Salesian College will: 

1. Maximize the proportion of waste that is recycled & minimize the quantity of nonrecyclable refuse. Salesian College therefore commits to:

 a. Reduce the absolute amount of waste that it produces from college kitchens, buttery, staff offices and student accommodation.

 b. Make full use of all recycling facilities provided by Sonada Panchayat/Siliguri Corporation and private suppliers, including glass, cans, white, colored and brown paper, plastic bottles, batteries, print cartridges, cardboard and furniture

. c. Compost, or cause to be composted, all organic waste, green waste and unrecycled cardboard produced in or collected from kitchens, gardens, offices and rooms.

 d. Recycle or safely dispose of white goods, computers and electrical appliances. 

e. Use reusable resources and containers and avoid unnecessary packaging where possible.

 f. Always purchase recycled resources where these are both suitable and available

 g. Provide sufficient, accessible and well-publicized collection points for recyclable waste, with responsibility for recycling clearly allocated.

 h. Make specific arrangements for events, such as cultural Events, internal and external seminars and conferences, where significant recyclable waste is likely to be produced, in order to both minimize the waste produced and maximize what is recycled/reused.

 i. Promote reuse of items and waste recycling among staff, students and conference guests through training, posters and incentives.

 j. Dispose all waste, whether solid or otherwise, in a scientific manner and ensure that it is not released directly to the environment.
