Waste Education
The Moira Shire employs a full-time Sustainability Awareness Officer to work with residents, community groups and schools on waste education.
A wide variety of presentations and workshops are available to promote recycling and ethical waste management practices.
Moira Shire Council is committed to best practice waste management and has demonstrated this commitment by being involved in community awareness programs that aim to improve waste management within the community.
The Sustainability Awareness Officer and associated stakeholders offer a wide variety of presentations and workshops to promote recycling and ethical waste management practices to community groups and schools.
Types of Presentations
Waste education presentations and workshops include the following topics:
- two bin kerbside system;
- recycling - the importance of recycling right;
- what happens to waste once it leaves the kerb?;
- waste minimisation and avoidance;
- home composting;
- buying green; and
- school sustainability days.
Sessions are interactive, fun and flexible, and can be tailored to suit the needs of your group, combine any one of the above topics or surround your specific questions about waste.
Sessions are normally 40-50 minutes but can be as short as 20-30 minute talk to a longer two-hour workshop, depending on your needs. Additionally full-day sustainability days can be organised for local schools.
