Cost Savings

Cost Savings
Rethinking waste in schools can result in not only cost savings for your school, but also help make a significant difference to our environment.

Save money on waste disposal costs
In many cases, charges for waste collections from schools will vary depending on the number and size of bins that are put out for collection. By reducing the amount of waste produced, your school may be able to cut down on the number and/or size of waste collection bins that are needed. This could result in a big reduction in waste disposal costs. Why not ask your local council's recycling officer to pay a visit to your school to help audit how much your school throws away and how many different materials you could recycle.

Save money on stationery costs
By taking simple steps such as using both sides of paper in notes books, or printing/photocopying double-sided, you should notice a reduction in the amount of paper used by your school. This means that you can reduce the amount of paper ordered in the first place, helping to save money.

Where there's aluminium... there's brass!
There are some schemes where you can get cash for aluminium cans. If you gather a big enough volume of cans it can generate income from various recycling companies. Bryson Recycling run an aluminium cash for cans recycling scheme and is an ideal way to raise money for your school.
