The common colour for our boxes is green (this tends to differentiate them best from other boxes in the classroom). Black, blue and red may also be available – please enquire.

The boxes we supply to Eco Schools are exactly the same as the boxes issued by many local authorities, either plain, or with your school name and even a logo.

They were originally designed for kerbside collections, so they are durable in all weathers or even for permanent outdoor storage. They nest together perfectly i.e. when empty). Though filled boxes do stack, they don’t do it particularly well.

Made from a blend of recycled and new plastic - up to 100% recycled or just as much as the raw material quality allows it.

Nets, lids, dividers and labels sold separately. For more details please see www.recycleboxes.co.uk

The inside bottom is a little larger than A3 paper - so ideal for storing your paper without damaging the corners, or of course allowing waste paper to be collected uncrumpled, and kept compact.

Please note that the box colour varies depending on the volume of recycled material used in manufacture. If you purchase a batch then within each batch they will be the same shade.
