Waste Management

Education Waste Collection Services

We love dealing with our customers in the field of education. Children, students and young people make a lot of mess that needs to be dealt with properly. Lecturers and Teachers haven’t got the time to manage waste collection so we are delighted to be able to fill in the gap. We deal with all your educational waste collection and disposal needs so you don’t have to.

Types of Waste in the Educational Sector

The type of waste that an educational establishment produces reflects the types of subjects and classes being taught as well as having to deal with all of the general waste and recycling that come with having large numbers of people in one place.

We are able to deal with waste from laboratories (chemical waste), technical waste such as building materials, wood, metal, solder, welding and other materials. We are also able to help with other materials such as nappies, sanitary products, glass, furniture, WEEE or other recycling/waste.

Whatever waste that your educational establishment produces, we are here to help. In addition, we are able to offer specialist services such as composting, managing the effective disposal of food waste such as oils and fats on a regular or on-off basis.

Of Course We Recycle!

Waste disposal is the last resort as far as we are concerned. We believe that educational establishments are in a unique position to lead the way with recycling and we are happy to be able to offer our services in an educational capacity as well as a practical way. We have the capacity to sort recycling in the most effective manner and have contracts and contacts at major commercial waste handling facilities as well.
If it can be recycled, we will recycle it. If it can be reused or repurposed, then we’ll point you in the right direction or deal with it ourselves.
You would not be reading this if you didn’t understand that waste in your establishment is your responsibility but it goes further than that. You well may well need a waste transfer note to ensure that your responsibilities are passed on properly. Sadly, some waste removal companies are less than ethical and we’ve all heard of cases where waste has been fly-tipped with disastrous environmental as well as legal consequences.

Educational Waste Collection

We have been collecting, sorting and disposing waste from educational establishments large and small for many years and have experience in dealing with all materials that result from schools, colleges and universities. If you have a one-off or more regular need to remove waste, please get in touch. Call us on 08009991500 or email info@germsfreeltd.co.uk with some photographs of the materials in question and we’ll be delighted to help. We operate across the whole of the UK and are sure to have someone available to remove your waste ethically and legally.

Transfer of Waste

When we pick up your waste, you are transferring the responsibility for that waste to us. The process of transferring waste necessitates the use of waste transfer notes. A waste transfer note (WTN) is a document that records and details the transfer of waste from one person to another. You must ensure every load of waste you receive or pass to others is covered by a WTN.
As Licenced waste carriers, we have a responsibility to make certain that we act appropriately and don’t, for example, unethically dump your waste somewhere that it should be placed. There are a multitude of unlicenced and unethical businesses out there that will happily get rid of your waste and fly-tip it. If that happens, it’s your responsibility so please make sure that waste is transferred legally and responsibly whether you choose to use our services or not.
