Waste Education Team

Waste and recycling education sessions

We are offering free educational visits, talks and workshops to community groups and schools or colleges. We also do educational activities at local events within the West Suffolk district only.

Our aim is to help our residents understand the importance of waste management and encourage them to think differently about their waste.

Our engaging, activity-led sessions are suitable for everyone. Sessions can be tailored for the specific audience, but will focus on where our household waste goes, what can and can’t be recycled, which bin to use, and more!

Dates and events are subject to availability.

For more information, please email our recycling team: recycling@westsuffolk.gov.uk
