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 100 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.
