School Recycling Activities
Many schools are focused on becoming or improving how sustainable they are as a school but lack the tools, resources or outside support which can help kick start and continue the school's efforts eventually becoming a sustainable school.
The School Recycling Activities section contains resources such as:
- The benefits of recycling in schools
- Getting your school recycling collected
- Finding out how much your school wastes
- Setting up your school recycling bins
- Using waste audit and action plan templates for schools
- Setting up waste free lunches
These resources are provided by
RecycleNow Schools and
Waste and Resources Action Plan (WRAP).
We speak to many teachers who advise that they struggle to get their recycled waste taken away from their school. Below is an example school recycling activity which details that your LEA may already be able to provide these services and lists via a map of your area which services may be available and how you can get in contact with them.

The recycling department at your local council are the best people to contact to find out about recycling services for schools in your area. Many local authorities offer their own recycling services to schools.
Check the Schools Recycling Service information to find out what your local authority offers. Those that don’t have their own recycling services should be able to put you in touch with organisations who will collect recycling from schools in your area. Contact your local recycling department directly to find out more.
