Three schools from Epsom & Ewell are taking part in Rethink Waste
There are now three primary schools in Epsom and Ewell taking part in Rethink Waste!
Find out how your local school is planning to help their environment, sign up and get donating, to help them achieve their goals, now:
- Cuddington Community Primary School, Worcester Park – are planning to develop an eco area to attract wildlife to the school.
- St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School, Epsom – will buy resources to improve its old pond area and litter pickers for the children to borrow.
- St Martins Church of England Junior School, Epsom – are planning to create a reflection area in its forest school.
Already this year, four Surrey schools have taken home a total of £2,000. And now, a further £1,000 is on offer (£750 to the winner, £250 to the runner-up) in March.
Surrey residents have been signing up to Rethink Waste, completing online activities that encourage and educate them on waste reduction, which they win points for, and then donating their points to participating schools.
All you have to do to help your local school win funds is sign up to Rethink Waste online or download the Rethink Waste app, complete some activities and donate points to your chosen school.
So far, over 12,500 households in Surrey have signed up to take part in Rethink Waste. They’ve completed over 200,000 activities and are well on their way to reducing the amount of waste produced in Surrey – a result for the planet and for Surrey councils as they will save money on disposal costs.
