Recycling team talks and school visits

Recycling team visit

Our friendly and knowledgeable officers can visit your school, community organisation, workplace, communal residence, youth club, volunteering group etc. to talk to you about a variety of waste management-related topics, including:-

• how to correctly use the 'Recycle for Dorset' service
• how to reduce the amount of waste you or your organisation creates
• ideas for reusing waste items
• litter prevention
• dealing with food waste
• real nappies
• where waste goes after collection
• composting

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.

School visits

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 offer a range of different workshops for Key Stage 1 and Key stage 2 pupils. We can also provide class visits suitable for nursery aged children and students older than 11 years.
