Schools & Recycling Education: Peterborough

Peterborough City Council support rubbish education by providing:

• Talks about waste and recycling to schools and community groups
• Educational material to support environmental projects
• Talks on litter and other cleansing issues, encouraging community involvement

Peterborough City Council also provides an Education Room located at the Peterborough Materials Recycling Facility (MRF) in partnership with the operators Viridor and is managed by a dedicated Campaign and Education Team.

The Education Room has been designed and developed to be interesting and informative for all age groups. Activities are targeted to satisfy specific groups interests right from Primary schools (age 7 and above) to adult levels.

An 'Education Pack' providing useful information on material identification etc plus suggestions for follow up activities, are available to visiting groups and can be adapted to suit specific requirements.

It is preferable for groups to visit the MRF, where tours of the facility can be offered. When this is not possible the Education Officer can go to their venue and where possible use displays and samples of recycled materials to reinforce the recycling message.

For more information please call 01733 747474.
