School resources

Welcome to our dedicated schools webpage. We are here to help.   

Reducing, reusing and recycling waste at school is good for the environment. It enriches the curriculum, helps schools to become more sustainable and can result in money savings. 

An effective way to reduce waste and recycle at school is to have a whole school approach. From teachers to children and parents so that responsibility for embedding waste minimisation and recycling is shared and acted upon across the school. This will help schools to make improvements in waste reduction and recycling.
