Education Waste Management

Education Sector

Sustainable waste solutions for schools, colleges and universities across Scotland

Educational institutions play a vital role in shaping the future — and that includes sustainability. From primary schools and academies to large college campuses and universities, Hamilton Waste & Recycling Ltd offers waste management services that are compliant, cost-effective and environmentally conscious.

We work with education authorities, multi-academy trusts, facility managers and site teams to develop bespoke recycling and waste collection plans that support your environmental goals and work within your operational calendar.

Supporting a Cleaner, Greener Learning Environment

Educational premises generate a wide mix of waste — from classroom and canteen rubbish to confidential records and broken equipment. Our services are designed to support day-to-day operations while reducing environmental impact.

We offer:

  • General waste and recycling collections
  • Food waste disposal (ideal for school kitchens and canteens)
  • Confidential waste destruction (safeguard pupil and staff records)
  • Glass and can recycling
  • Term-time and holiday collection scheduling
  • Pupil engagement and sustainability support resources

We’ll help you boost recycling performance, meet regulatory requirements, and promote a sustainable culture throughout your school or campus.

Responsible Waste Management You Can Count On

All waste is processed at our licensed recycling facility, where we aim to divert over 97% of material from landfill. Our teams are vetted, professional, and understand the safeguarding and access requirements of education sites.

We also provide regular waste reporting and insights — useful for tracking performance against sustainability targets or showcasing your green credentials to inspectors and parents.
