The RecycleBank Green Schools Scheme

Donated RecycleBank Points are matched with donations by RecycleBank to environmental initiatives at schools nationwide. RecycleBank will donate £5 for every100 Points donated to your school! We are accepting grant applications from schools in RecycleBank-serviced areas for the development of initiatives that empower young people (between 3-18 years old) in the areas of environmental awareness, education and action.

We are once again accepting grant applications from schools in RecycleBank - serviced areas for the development of programs that empower youth ages 6–18 through a focus on environmental awareness, education, and action.

How to Participate:

  1. Download the grant application and guidelines here.
  2. Complete and return the application to us via email.
  3. As specified in the guidelines, RecycleBank will notify the programs selected and post them on this page.
  4. Also at that time, RecycleBank will post downloadable / printable collateral that you can use to start grassroots promotion to your community letting them know about the Points Donation program for your school.
  5. Then, do whatever you can to rally your community together and get them to support your school’s environmental program with the donation of their Points.
  6. RecycleBank will convert the Points donated into pounds and grant cheques will be mailed by the dates listed below. (RecycleBank will donate £5 for every100 Points you donate to support their environmental causes.)
  7. Remember, this initiative requires schools, pupils and their communities to work together. Get creative and have some fun!
