Schools collection service
School waste collection
We provide great collection services to schools. Schools with an existing contract with us pay a reduced rate for collection of waste. They only pay for the collection, not disposal of their waste. At these schools collections of recyclables and food waste are free. This provides an incentive to ensure the whole school recycles as much as possible, and provides a market-beating contract to schools. If a school has a contract with us, moves to another service provider, and then asks us to provide collections again, we will charge the school the full rate for waste, recycling and food waste collection services.
The Simpler Recycling regulations mean that schools must be recycling a core set of materials, just as businesses have to.
This means that paper, card, glass bottles and jars, cans, tins, foil and aerosols, plastic bottles, pots, tubs, trays, films and bags, cartons and food waste all have to be recycled. Our collection services provide you with everything you need to comply with the regulations.

Whether a school uses our collection services or not, we are always very happy to come into schools to visit staff, classes, year groups, assemblies, and eco councils. We have lots of free resources. Register with us to use our Green Schools programme, and get access to a wide range of curriculum-tailored resources.
