The
environment and our impact upon it, is a key part
of the National Curriculum and at the heart of making
a pleasant place to live for local communities.
Spreading the word about waste awareness and environmental
know how is on the top of our agenda to make sure
that Sheffield has a greener future.
We have a dedicated Waste Awareness Officer who
visits schools and community groups across the city
delivering a variety of programmes, to people of
all ages and abilities, from one off presentations
and workshops to a series of interactive sessions.
The emphasis for the waste awareness sessions and
workshops is "hands on" and "fun"
but the outcome of the sessions is to change perceptions
of waste and promote action to Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.
Here
are just a few of the activities on offer:
•
Primary Schools - Interactive workshops, crafts
and games to explore the world of waste: Create
a recycling centre; do a class room waste audit;
visit our Household Waste Recycling Centres.
•
Secondary Schools - Waste audits, mini recycling
projects, classroom presentations, interactive
group work and discussion groups exploring various
aspects of waste and recycling.
•
Community groups - Information and discussions
about waste and recycling at a general or local
level. Scouts, Brownies and other children's
activity groups can take our interactive waste
challenge as well as other activities and games.
If you would like to
arrange for our Waste Awareness Officer to visit
to your school, college or community group please

us.
