Free Waste Education Session for Schools
Council recognises the importance of working with local schools and preschools regarding waste avoidance and resource recovery and to create a culture of sustainability. Council’s waste education in schools program sees dedicated educators visit local schools to show students how to protect our environment through recycling, waste reduction, and responsible consumption.
Topics include:
- Composting & Worm Farming
- School Waste Audit
- Smart Shopping
- Three bins system (including Food Organics Garden Organics from Nov 2024)
The interactive sessions allowed students to actively participate, ask questions, and share their ideas. Through hands-on activities and informative presentations, the students gained valuable insights into waste reduction, recycling, and the importance of responsible consumption.
