The Recycling Team offers free talks to local schools and community groups on all aspects of waste, recycling and related environmental problems. Presentations and activities can be tailored to all ages and group requirements.  Talks and educational sessions can generally be booked for daytime or evening sessions depending on staff availability.

The Recycling Roadshow Trailer can also be booked for local fetes and events and has a wide range of display material and leaflets on recycling and waste minimisation.  Again, booking is limited and depends on staff availability.

Please note that talks, exhibitions and roadshows can only be booked for residents, schools and groups based in the Braintree District area.  For other areas, please contact your local authority.

For more information and to find out about staff availability for an education session or a roadshow please contact Sarah Cross, Recycling Officer on 01376 332374 or email sacro@braintree.gov.uk
