We operate in the following way:
Once we have been approached by a school and the location of the school is on a current route, or sufficient interest in a particular area justifies the launch of a new route, agreement must be reached in terms of:
- the purchase of the bins by the school - contact us for bin purchase options
- the choice of payment options - contact us for options
…a launch date is set and details related to the launch are discussed. The launch takes place in the form of an assembly and the pupils are educated by means of a PowerPoint presentation about responsible waste disposal. They are motivated and encouraged to sort their waste for recycling purposes.
Waste Segregation Bins are placed in the school, a Resource Pack is handed to the school for use in themes and the segregated waste is collected once a week for recycling.
How many bins per school?
The average number of bins per school is 30. Our “tried and tested” ratio is 1 set of 4 bins (plastic, paper, cans, and Tetra Pak) per 80 pupils.
Benefits to the school: (this is the same in all cases)
- The pupils are educated as to the benefits of recycling and the YES program is explained by means of a PowerPoint presentation.
- Sufficient bags are provided and bins are always neat and tidy.
- The bins are cleaned and maintained and the recyclables are removed once a week.
- We return to the school annually to remind existing pupils and educate new pupils of what needs to be done. This presentation is FREE.
- The school receives a Teachers’ Resource Manual and other relevant material for use in themes.
- At the end of the term the school receives a report giving the weight of the various categories of waste collected.
- As much as 70% of the waste in schools can be recycled. The school has the opportunity to “lead by example”.
Launches into schools consist of two types of bins:
- Our smaller bins - sufficient of these bins will be positioned in the body of the school.
- Larger brightly coloured “wheelie bins” positioned near entrances or busy areas.
