Visits
The Waste Aware Team are presently visiting
schools and other organisations by invitation. The Team
have a range of promotional and display materials that
help to promote the Reduce Reuse Recycle message.
Visits can be tailored to the individual needs of the
school or group. It may be that the group are participating
in a particular activity or project that includes Reducing,
Reusing or Recycling Waste. Perhaps it is in support of
an area of the curriculum, or perhaps it’s just to
understand a little more about the 3 R’s message.
All of these needs can be catered for.
In schools the Waste Aware Team will give a brief talk
on the Reduce, Reuse and Recycle message highlighting the
key points in each of these areas. This talk and the display
material used will be targeted at the age group attending.
The talk is then followed by an activity session.
For younger audiences the activities include colouring
pictures associated with Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. The
team also have toys and games that are associated with
the 3's that can then be used.
For older audiences there is also a quiz and recycling game. Designed as
team activities, the quiz tests the knowledge of participants
in the Reduce, Reuse and Recycle message. The game then
involves placing a variety of materials in the correct
bins to show that the material is ideal for Reducing,
Reusing or Recycling.
The Team will also visit, by invitation, other groups
who have an interest in, or want to learn more about Reduce
Reuse and Recycle such as Youth Groups, Community Groups
and Residents Associations who may find the message useful.
If you would like further information or would like to
