Wastes are one of the most important environmental challenges in the Gaza Strip due to the excessive increase in its population accompanied by increasing quantities of wastes. Al-Aqsa University seeks to reduce the impact of wastes on the environment of the Gaza Strip through the implementation of environmental awareness programs on policies followed to reduce waste generation on campus. The university is also working on a project that converts organic wastes from the university into organic fertilizers which can be used in agriculture on the campus.
