• Recyclable Trash (plastic, paper, glass, aluminum). JUST uses trash bins with different colors allowing students and faculty to easily determine what they can and cannot recycle. Additionally, this program allows all types recyclables (plastic, paper, glass, aluminum) to be placed in specific container, making it easier for the user to seperate. A private contractor collects these recyclables at regular intervals.

• Recyclable Electronics. The Operation and Maintenance Unit at the university reuses the electronic parts from the damaged devices to maintain other devices and systems. For more information, please click here.
  

• On-Campus Water Purification and Reuse. The operation and maintenance unit at the university collectes and purify the university’s buildings sewers, to reuse water for agricultural purposes. For more information, click here.

• Off-Campus Treated Water Collection and Reuse. To address the water scarcity issue and achieve substantial cost savings, the university has entered into a long-term agreement for the utilization of treated water resources. This arrangement involves the withdrawal of treated water from the Wadi Hassan station, situated 8 kilometers away from the campus. The station processes approximately 1000 cubic meters of reclaimed water daily, offered at a nominal cost. Additionally, the university operates its own purification plant, capable of treating another 1000 cubic meters of water daily, resulting in a combined daily capacity of 2200 cubic meters. This treated water is then directed to an artificial pond with a sizable capacity of 140,000 cubic meters before being utilized for irrigation purposes, significantly reducing the financial burden associated with using potable water for this task. This initiative not only generates substantial financial savings amounting to hundreds of thousands of dinars but also plays a pivotal role in alleviating the prevailing water crisis.
