Q. How will my school benefit from this service

A. By signing up for this service your school will not only 'do its' bit for the environment by recycling, but will also save on waste disposal costs. We expect that by recycling cardboard the waste produced at your school will be minimised and therefore less waste containers will be required, which will reduce disposal costs.

Example If your school currently doesn't recycle cardboard and has 4 waste containers, then by signing up for this service we anticipate that *2 waste containers will be adequate along with *2 containers for cardboard.

Your school will save the costs of:

Weekly rental of waste containers *2
Weekly scheduled lift charge *2
