Bins For Better Schools

Awatapu College is pleased to be on board with Waste Management’s Bins For Better Schools initiative. Under this exciting initiative, when customers sign up to an annual Waste Management residential subscription and nominate Awatapu College, Waste Management will give our school up to $24 per annum. The more customers who sign up under the Bins For Better Schools initiative, the more money Awatapu College could receive from Waste Management to help fund school trips, upgrade facilities or purchase new state of the art equipment and technology.
