General Election postal votes
If you have not received your postal vote for the General Election on 4 July 2024, please call us on 01305 838299 so that a replacement can be issued.
Our friendly and knowledgeable officers can visit your school, community organisation, workplace, communal residence, youth club or volunteering group to talk to you about a variety of waste management-related topics, including:
Content and running times can be tailored accordingly. If you can give us an idea of the topic you'd like covered, number of attendees, preferred timeframe and location, we will be in touch to discuss your education visit. We can also set up an information stand at your event if appropriate.
We are able to provide assemblies suitable for age ranges from 4 up to 13 years. We cover waste reduction, reuse, recycling and composting, but we can adapt the assembly to focus on a particular topic if requested. We can also provide class visits suitable for nursery aged children and students older than 11 years.
Fill out the form to book a free visit from the Recycling Team.
Dorset schools can have up to two free 330 litre or 220 litre compost bins plus two lidded caddies for collecting waste. If you would like to order some bins then please contact us. Please note that you will need to arrange a time when an officer can talk to the pupils and staff about composting before your compost bin is delivered.
A waste audit will inform you about the most common types of material types that your school throws away. This will help to give you an idea about what could be recycled, reduced, reused or composted.
Along with a small group of pupils, we will sort through a day's worth of waste from the school, sort them into different material types and weigh these. We will provide all of the equipment required.
We will also give you with a summary of the results that are found and make suggestions on reducing your waste, based on these findings.
