Waste Education

Calling all Schools, Nurseries and Community groups.

The Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead is pleased to offer FREE Waste Education sessions.

Each session is tailored for different age groups and abilities and aims to raise awareness of important environmental issues surrounding waste.

Link the sessions to the national curriculum and add it to your Green Schools portfolio. They are fun and interactive, with plenty of games and facts to get everyone thinking.

The Council's Waste Awareness Officer delivers the sessions, which can last from 20 minutes to an hour.
