Recycling in schools

School recycling

What recycling services are available to schools?

We offer free weekly recycling collections of Paper, Cardboard, Plastic, Tins, Cans, Glass and Food Waste to all schools.

For Council schools, we provide all recycling bins free of charge.

Academy and Private Schools are required to buy these bins, but the collection of recycling remains free to all schools.

Schools are now eligible to sign up for our annual Garden Waste Service at a cost of £65.00 per 240L Brown Bin. Schools will be expected to present their Garden Waste Bin at the boundary of the school on collection day. Please contact our call centre to discuss on 020 8583 5555.
