Recycling and environmental education
We feel that it is important to educate the younger
generations with recycling and environmental issues, as they are
the future. Our community engagement team offer a wide range of
activities for young people across the city to get involved
with.
School talks
Our waste education team deliver school talks on
recycling, littering and composting. We deliver interactive talks
to classes and whole school assemblies. We tailor our environmental
talks and activities so that they meet the national curriculum
criteria for all schools. For more information or to book a talk
please contact the senior community engagement officer.
Community groups
We also deliver talks and presentations to community groups
within the city. Community groups include: The Women's Institute,
Friendship Groups, Guide and Scout Groups and Pension Clubs.
Materials Recycling Facility tours
If you would like to see what happens to the contents of your
green bin why not arrange a visit to Peterborough's Materials
Recycling Facility (MRF)? Tours can be arranged for groups of 8-10
adults. Under 18's are not allowed to enter the operational area,
but school groups can be accommodated in our education room. Email
recycling@enterprisepeterborough.co.uk
or ring 01733 747474 for more information or to arrange a
visit.
Festivals and roadshows
During the year the waste education team attend
festivals and roadshows across the city. They provide an
opportunity for you to discover more about recycling, climate
change and sustainable travel. Look out for our environment trailer
at an event near you.
