Students can find out what happens to rubbish after they throw it away. Sessions include recycling and waste-related activities, as well as the opportunity to take part in a site tour to view our state-of-the-art waste treatment technology.

Visits are available for students at Key Stage 2, 3 and 4. We offer session plans and activities linking into the science, geography and citizenship curriculum.

We also welcome further and higher education students.
