A waste separation pilot project commenced in March 2020 covering the building at Gateway, the Administration block, University House and the Faculty of Economics, Management & Accountancy (FEMA) building.
The Quadrangle and Gateway outdoor areas were also part of this pilot project. In September 2025 new waste-separation bins for open spaces at UM were installed across Campus.
A number University buildings have been provided with waste-separation bins and work is underway to equip the remaining buildings with the appropriate bins for internal use.
