School & Uni Recycling: A Simple Blueprint

Education campuses succeed with clear stations and student ownership. Here's a blueprint that works without adding admin overhead.

Station design

  • Trio stations: general, commingled, paper/cardboard. No desk bins.
  • Real photos on signs (canteen items, student packaging). Keep words minimal.
  • Place stations at exits of food areas and near classrooms.

Contamination blockers

  • Empty-liquid reminder at drink stations.
  • Separate organics where food is consumed (240L liners, 3-5x weekly).
  • Lock outdoor bins to prevent public dumping.

Student-led checks

  • Nominate "green captains" per building to spot-check weekly.
  • Keep a simple log: date, issues, photos.
  • Celebrate improvements (house points or shout-outs).

Service cadence

  • Start with 240L-360L commingled/paper weekly; adjust after two weeks based on fullness.
  • Add cardboard stream for deliveries (660L weekly) if boxes pile up.
  • Increase organics in summer to reduce odour.

Need help rolling this out? We can supply bins, signage templates, and a first-month check-in. Reach out via Contact and include campus size and current bin photos.
