Rethink Waste

Give a gift to local kids with Rethink Waste

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. The two schools that have won £750 each so far this year are:

• Knaphill School in Woking, which will use the funds to introduce more greenery to the school.
• Barnsbury School in Woking, which will buy gardening equipment, seeds and resources to help re-line its pond.

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.

Find out how your local school is planning to help their environment, sign up and get donating now:

• Crawley Ridge Junior School, Camberley – buy resources to enable outdoor learning sessions.
• Holy Trinity CofE Primary School, West End – create a recycling centre
