How to introduce real recycling, reduce overall waste and have a clear recycling message. Let us help you become a beacon of school sustainability through proper waste management.
Our Audits cost less than the savings made.
And at last you're recycling properly.
Enough is enough - we should be doing all we can to support young people to take care of the environment and allow sustainability to become their normal way of life.
Our main aim for schools and educational establishments is carbon reduction. We review all your processes at your school sites following the journey from waste creation to disposal. We then write a site specific plan for proper recycling of which you can be proud.
One of the ways to make a massive change to your carbon output is by reducing your waste outputs. And then by recycling the residual waste you can create a positive carbon impact. By educating, signposting and controlling waste, you can be proud you are doing what you can to support the environment. In addition to waste and recycling, we can advise on energy, building projects, purchasing and emissions.
Reviewing and improving your waste and recycling is one way schools can show a focus on their environmental efforts without a large capital outlay.
One of the greatest impacts you can achieve is in targeting your Food Waste. From purchasing, to meal planning to recycling to repurposing - our plans allow you to cut costs and reduce your carbon impact. It might seem simple, but our proven methods will show your students, staff, kitchens and purchasing departments the easiest ways to make real step changes.
Our advice is targeted, specific and comes with an action plan. Our costs will be minimal compared to the savings we help you achieve.
In all our audits, our costs are less than the savings made following recommendations and have resulted in the school being in a better recycling position.
Audits cost from just £1000 depending on your size and needs. Find out how much we can help you to improve your waste management.
A full site audit from waste generation to waste disposal. Current and potential recycling plus full kitchen waste analysis. Market analysis given on your costs of disposal and advice on options. Full project plan provided and ongoing support for implementation.

Collection companies and waste brokers don't advise on how you manage waste and recycling inside the school. We work from the source of the waste through to its disposal. This allows us to review when to intercept the material and make sure it's going in the right stream.
The waste industry charges by the number of 'lifts' and by bin weight. It isn't always in your collector's interests financially to reduce your lift count. We advise on ways not only to recycle more, but to reduce your overall waste outputs so you may have fewer lifts and pay less. Also recycling is CHEAPER so ultimately the collector would make less revenue.
Some schools employ waste management brokers/middle men who say they advise on best practice recycling as well as organise your collections. Once again they only make money on your lifts so their advice isn't always in your interest and they rarely visit sites in person with practical advice.
Our audits cost from £1,000 up to a few thousand depending on the size of your school and how much you want us to review. Nonetheless, in every site we've visited, our costs are more than covered by the savings recommended through effective recycling in just one year. And you're being more sustainable going forward.
Many schools chose to show their sustainability focus through large scale, capital intensive projects. We feel that effective recycling and waste reduction is a significantly cheaper option, easier to implement and shows a very noticeable and visual commitment by the school. It's an easy win.
Calmeus has supported a girls secondary school in Surrey, a university in Middlesex and a mixed secondary school in London to name just a few. We work in both the independent sector and the state sector. Full details are available and references can be provided..
Nearly all waste can be recycled if sorted correctly. In schools, you should be looking at having food recycling, paper and card recycling, mixed recycling, baling cardboard, green waste recycling and glass recycling.
The residual waste left over would go in your General Waste Bins.
Yes, our services go beyond the initial audit and can include implementation of our suggested changes. We can act as your authorised adviser and make service changes and improvements directly. We can procure new suitable containers on your behalf and install them and support you with your cultural message of change.
Calmeus is owned and run by waste management professionals with many years experience in recycling.
We have operated our own waste collection company with a large fleet of vehicles and also our own national waste brokerage supporting businesses across the country. In addition, we have acted as consultants both for national think tanks on recycling matters and also for the UK Government on commercial recycling.
We don't believe there is anyone else providing this professional service with our in-depth knowledge of the industry. Let us help you on your journey to really make a difference.
Yes, we can organise this for you so you can see recycling in action after the material has left your school.
