Recycling containers
We give recycling containers to all schools in Lambeth.
If you work in a school and would like to ask about a recycling service, you can contact us:
- call 020 7926 9000
- email commercialwaste@lambeth.gov.uk
As well as using our collection service, you can bring your unwanted goods to a reuse and recycling centre.
What you can recycle
Our school recycling takes the same items we collect from residents.
Composting
Our compost doctor can help schools with composting, or advise them how to start. Email them at compostdoctor@lambeth.gov.uk for more information.
Compost bins and wormeries are available at reduced prices. To order one, visit Get Composting.
Information and education resources
Recycling Education Centre
Western Riverside Waste Authority (WRWA) runs school visits for children in the education centre at the reuse and recycling centre in Wandsworth. The visits explore what happens to everything we throw away, and look at how we can help look after our waste and the environment.
Recycle Now school resources
Recycle at school has lots of information on recycling, including lesson plans for primary and secondary schools.
Work and Play Scrapstore
Schools can access a wide range of interesting, unusual and useful materials for art, educational, creative and play activities at the Work and Play Scrapstore in Earlsfield. It collects clean, reusable, surplus materials from local industries and makes them available to members.
