Tailored Waste Solutions for the Education Sector
Cleaner campuses, streamlined collections, and safer waste handling for colleges and universities.
Educational institutions handle a large variety of waste streams, from textbooks, exam papers and packaging, to food waste and recyclable materials such as cardboard, plastic bottles, aluminium cans and cartons. With diverse waste zones (staffrooms, classrooms, cafeterias, libraries), inefficient handling can mean blocked corridors, overflowing bins, and logistical headaches.
Kenburn’s waste balers and compactors help schools, colleges, and universities simplify waste management across the campus. Our solutions consolidate waste streams, from cardboard to mixed refuse, compactly and safely at source, freeing up space and supporting a healthier, more sustainable campus environment.
