Schools Recycling Service

All schools in Mole Valley are eligible to receive our school recycling service.

Through this service, we will collect mixed dry recycling.

The material will be collected on a fortnightly basis during term-time.

To contain the recyclable material, we provide 1,100 litre bins free of charge.

The number of bins required will be discussed with each school on an individual basis and is dependent on the amount and types of waste produced.

Cost

The price of the school recycling service is £10.00 per emptying of each 4-wheeled bin, and/or £5.00 to empty each 2-wheeled bin.

Rental of the bins is free.

This is a substantial saving on the current charges made by private waste companies to remove general waste.

It is estimated that every general waste bin replaced by a recycling bin will save the school around £140 during the course of the year.
