Collections for schools, universities and colleges

We can provide schools, universities and colleges in Islington with recycling and rubbish collections.

From 31 March 2025, all schools must comply with new recycling regulations. This means that recycling, including food waste, must be in place in your school.

Find out how to get your school or trust ready for new recycling regulations.

What we collect

We can collect the following:

  • mixed recycling
  • food waste
  • residual waste and rubbish
  • garden waste on request
  • bulky waste (such as furniture) on request

There is a charge for these services.
