Castlereagh Borough Council
ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION PROGRAMME
The Council provides educational talks and activities to all schools, community groups, churches and other interested organisations/bodies. These talks cover a range of topics in the areas of waste awareness and are provided free of charge. Our talks to schools can be adapted to all Key Stage groups and run in conjunction with the current curriculum.
Please find below a list of activities and talks available as part of our Educational Programme.

Video and visual, interactive presentation and activity designed to show children the problems rubbish can cause within the world and encourage them to reduce, re-use and recycle.
Tri-Cycle talk Churches/Community Groups/Organisations
Visual and interactive presentation to highlight problems with waste. Information is given on the Council’s kerbside recycling scheme, what it entails and how it will help to reduce waste in Castlereagh.
