waste management designed
for the education sector

It is important to educate children on the environmental impact of waste and what can be done to help reduce it. By adopting a well organised, clear waste management plan with Select, your school, college or university can achieve higher recycling rates, divert waste from landfill and educate your students all at the same time.

We understand that budgets are tight and that there are companies out there that will collect all of your waste in one container for a cheap price, but by choosing a green route and segregating your waste for recycling, we guarantee that you will save even more. With the 2011 Waste Regulation (England and Wales) now in place it is the responsibility of all businesses to follow the waste hierarchy (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Recover and Disposal). From a waste management point of view, recycling is best practice. If you are working towards UKAS ISO 14001 or maintain the standard with continual improvement, our solutions are a great way to do this.

Select provide service solutions to suit all different types of educational facilities, for example: A University with a chemistry lab will produce a lot more hazardous waste than a primary school. Overall educational facilities produce quite a range of waste types due to canteens, confidential information collected and technology, therefore a total waste management plan would be very beneficial to increasing recycling rates and reducing costs within any educational organisation.
