Types of School Waste

Schools generate a wide range of waste types, each requiring specific handling and disposal methods. Understanding these types is essential for creating an effective waste management plan.

• General Waste: Non-recyclable waste, including food wrappers, disposable utensils, and non-recyclable packaging, makes up a large portion of school waste.
• Recyclable Materials: Paper, cardboard, plastics, and metals form a significant amount of recyclable waste produced by classrooms, offices, and canteens.
• Organic Waste: Food scraps from school kitchens, leftover lunches, and garden waste are classified as organic waste. Composting is an effective way to manage this type of waste.
• Hazardous Waste: Schools, particularly secondary and higher education institutions, may produce hazardous waste from chemicals used in science labs, cleaning supplies, and other materials requiring careful handling.
• Clinical Waste: Waste from medical rooms or first-aid facilities, such as used bandages, gloves, and syringes, must be disposed of in compliance with clinical waste regulations.
• E-Waste: Old computers, printers, and other electronic devices that are no longer in use must be disposed of responsibly through specialised e-waste recycling services.
• Packaging Waste: Materials such as plastic wraps, boxes, and containers used in school deliveries and supplies.
• Glass Waste: Broken or used glass items, particularly from science labs, must be handled and disposed of with care.
• Garden Waste: Green waste generated from maintaining school grounds, such as grass clippings, leaves, and branches.
