Educating children about the importance of reuse and recycling is critical. Retrograde can provide all schools with a range of recycling facilities, educational materials, and fundraising opportunities to make a real difference. Our aim is to help all schools reach sustainability and climate change targets as quickly as possible, in a rewarding way.

Recycling not only helps to improve the environment and generate untied income, it can also reduce a school’s waste disposal costs. Our school recycling events are simple to arrange, helping to generate a quick injection of funds, and excitement into the term. Retrograde provides all the necessary literature, recycling bags, posters and information free of charge. We can collect a vast range of materials for recycling and pay in full by BACS or cheque before departure. Post event updates follow, with educational information on how and where the materials have been reused or recycled.

Continuous income generation opportunities are also obtained through Retrograde’s range of recycling banks made especially for schools, which we provide and service in any location in England.

Our modern recycling plants in Erith, Kent are also available for guided tours and teaching sessions, giving children of all ages the opportunity to gain hands-on experience and knowledge of recycling in a safe, secure and child-friendly environment.

Retrograde also proactively supports schools in developing countries through the donation new and refurbished school equipment.
