About us

The WES Schools & ECE team can:

  • Conduct waste audits to find out what you are throwing away
     
  • Talk with your Board of Trustees and stakeholders to help embed waste minimisation into your school curriculum and policies
     
  • Help you set up systems to minimise your school's waste, and provide advice and information on sustainable purchasing practices
     
  • Run workshops for teachers, students and parents including:
  1. The 3 Rs - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
  2. Zero-waste lunches
  3. Composting, EM Bokashi, worm farming
  • Provide resources, support and advice to the whole school community
     
  • Help you measure your progress in terms of waste reduction and cost savings!


The WES programme for Schools is a free programme funded by the Nelson City and Tasman District Councils, through the Nelson Environment Centre (NEC).
