Waste Education Services for Schools

A free programme is available for schools who want to reduce waste and educate students about the importance of minimising waste and conserving precious resources.

Contact the WES schools facilitator to arrange a visit to your school.

The schools facilitator can:
•    Conduct waste audits and whole-school presentations
•    Help you set up systems to minimise your school’s waste
•    Run workshops for teachers and/or students in the 3 Rs, composting, EM bokashi and worm farming.
•    Provide resources
•    Help you measure your progress (and cost savings!)

The WES programme is provided free by Nelson City and Tasman District councils through the Nelson Environment Centre
