Food waste collections

This service is free of charge for schools that purchase our general waste collection service. Other schools will have to pay a charge for this service.

Collection charges for food waste are under review and may become chargeable in future.

Invoicing and VAT

Charges are invoiced quarterly.

We do not charge VAT on the refuse collection services provided to schools, but if a collection is made under a subcontract from another waste provider then we will charge VAT on the service received.
