Recycling in schools
We offer free recycling collections for schools and community
groups in Redbridge. Redbridge schools are very keen
recyclers and therefore most schools in the borough have recycling
facilities for paper, cans, plastic bottles, glass bottles and
jars. Some of our primary schools even have compost bins for
recycling their food waste.
The collections are serviced by Shanks East London so please contact
them if you have a bin which needs emptying.
Free Educational Lessons and Workshops
The recycling team offer a range of free education opportunities
for both children and adults, in schools and community groups.
Free School Lessons and Assemblies
We offer free lessons and assemblies to all schools in Redbridge
(both independent and state schools), all key stages and all
educational needs. All lessons and assemblies can be tailored
to meet the needs and requirements of the school and the
curriculum, but often focus on the following topics:
- recycling
- composting
- waste minimisation.
Lessons can be both practical or theory, to meet your needs and
include sessions such as the following:
- paper making
- rubbish relays
- litter picking
- recycled arts & crafts.
School Awards and Competitions

We offer free talks and workshops about recycling and the
environment to all community groups and faith groups in Redbridge,
