Keeping school grounds clean and sustainable requires more than just putting out a few bins. KS Environmental partners with schools across Melbourne to deliver reliable, compliant waste management, customised for schools. From everyday paper and cardboard waste to food scraps and electronic waste, our bin hire services make it easy for schools to manage waste disposal responsibly.
Supporting Schools with Recycling Goals
At KS Environmental, we’re committed to helping schools across the Melbourne Metropolitan region reduce waste and improve recycling outcomes. We work closely with schools to implement practical, effective waste management solutions tailored to each school’s needs. This includes setting up recycling systems that separate materials correctly, reduce contamination, and increase landfill diversion.
Aligned with ResourceSmart Schools
If your school is part of the ResourceSmart Schools programme, we can support your waste and recycling efforts in line with the programme’s goals. From waste audits to ongoing guidance, we can help your school take practical steps to improve sustainability and reduce its environmental footprint.
Hosting Educational Activations
In addition to our waste services, KS Environmental can support schools in hosting open days that are both educational and fun. These events offer interactive learning experiences where students can explore the journey of waste, learn how recycling works, and understand the importance of reducing waste.
