Education

Whether you’re a small school or have a campus the size of a town, we can take care of all your waste. And we don’t just mean collecting your bins - we address the root cause of waste by educating your students, faculty members and housekeeping staff on best practices. So, everyone gets top marks for reducing, reusing, and recycling.

Smart waste solutions for Education.

From classrooms to campuses, we’ve got the right answers

Education is a sector like no other. Not only are your facilities open from early morning to late at night, you also have to cater to multiple audiences from young pupils to operational staff – all with different levels of interest in waste management. Your CSR remit also demands the highest standards of sustainability. With more than 30 years’ experience, you can trust us to get the right results.

  • A flexible approach around your timetable

    We know there are times of the year when you’re busier than others. Our service scales up or down to accommodate summer holidays and mid-term breaks. Charging per bin per collection means you’ll also save due to fewer collections in quiet times.

  • A campus-wide approach

    Our waste awareness campaigns are a fantastic way to reduce waste and help students and staff segregate waste correctly. Cleaners are especially important as they’re often responsible for making sure waste is placed in the correct receptacles for final collection.

  • Minimising waste in student accommodation

    Students who live on campus largely generate domestic waste, which needs to be segregated for recycling. To make sure they know how to do this correctly, we make regular presentations on campus and inspire them with Virtual Reality tours of our Materials Recovery Facilities (MRFs).

  • Catering for one-off clear-outs

    Many of our education customers use end-of-term or summer holidays for major clear-outs. Our removal services cover everything from end-of-life mattresses and dorm furniture to Waste Electric & Electronic Equipment (WEEE). Flexible collection times can be arranged to suit you. We also partner with homeless charities such as Shelter, to reuse as much of you unwanted items as possible.

  • Groundskeeping waste solutions

    Lots of the campuses we work with generate large quantities of groundskeeping waste. We manage it in a sustainable way, returning it to nature in the form of nutrient-rich compost or fertiliser.
