At the same time people need to know how to take action to be more environmentally friendly. Working in partnership with Nottinghamshire County Council and other organisations in the County, Veolia ES Nottinghamshire runs initiatives and campaigns to let householders know the facts about waste.
Our Waste Awareness Officer can deliver one-off waste and recycling education sessions for children; and can also arrange educational visits / tours at our Materials Recovery Facility, Forest Town, Mansfield for small groups of adults and children. If you would like further information on either of the above, please contact us.
Schools Waste Action Club
We currently help to support the Schools Waste Action Club in Nottinghamshire.
The Nottinghamshire Schools Waste Action Club (SWAC) employs two full time officers as outreach workers to visit schools in Nottinghamshire and deliver a waste education programme focusing on waste minimisation and recycling activities. The SWAC Officers provide advice on reducing, reusing and recycling school waste. They also deliver practical lessons and waste-themed assemblies for the whole school.
For more information on schools recycling and the SWAC project please visit www.nottinghamshire.gov.uk/swac . If your school is interested in getting involved with the SWAC please contact the SWAC officers on 0115 977 4936 or 0115 977 2467.
