Waste management

For all information about CERN waste management please see the corresponding 'Waste' chapter in CERN's environment report 2021-2022.

What can I do?

We can all can play a part in reducing waste both at CERN and at home. Just follow the 5 R principle detailed in the poster below!

If you have industrial waste at CERN: consult SCE's what goes where webpage.

If you need new office equipment: check out the Sales & Recuperation Service's second hand catalogue.

A detailed poster describing the 5 R's at CERN: Refuse products which cause waste, Reduce waste, Reuse wherever possible, Recycle, and repeat. That's Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Repeat!
