Recycling education
A top priority to stem the increasing amount of waste is to reduce waste at source, re-use materials and to recycle. As our children will inherit this planet it is of paramount importance that we educate them to understand and reduce the environmental impact of waste.
Our aim is to provide an education programme to schools to encourage children to foster a positive attitude towards recycling and waste minimisation.
And also, to communicate to residents the importance of participating in using recycling services and facilities, and the need to move towards more sustainable waste management practices.
