Schools & Recycling Education: Cambridgeshire

Education Centre in Waterbeach

The Council runs a state of the art Education Centre in partnership with AmeyCespa at the Mechanical Biological Treatment Plant at Waterbeach. This centre provides people with a unique opportunity to find out what happens to their waste and why it is so important that we all reduce, reuse and recycle more.

It has been designed to cater for primary and secondary schools, colleges, community groups and residents in Cambridgeshire. Visits include a tour of the wider Waste Management Park to see what is involved in waste recycling and processing, and you can see the Mechanical Biological Treatment Plant at work through viewing windows and CCTV.

Teachers deliver curriculum-linked sessions for children and students with practical, fun, hands-on activities. Schools or colleges who would like to focus on a particular curriculum subject or project theme can arrange this before visiting.

For full information including details of activities, practicalities like transport arrangements and a risk assessment, visit the Education Centre website.
