Recycling resources for schools

 
Arrange a free waste education visit at your school

A qualified teacher will teach your pupils the value of reducing waste by reusing and recycling materials.

Visits can include a whole school assembly followed by practical activities for two classes, looking at a range of materials and linking with national curriculum science targets.

To book a visit, contact our waste education officer, Monika Koziara:
