My green home and garden

Here are some activities to help you learn more about disposing of your waste properly, about your local environment, and to show all the great things you do to live in an environmentally sustainable way. Perhaps you’ve started a great new eco-project during COVID-19! We’re also happy to answer your questions on these topics.

Please get involved and inspire others by submitting your contributions via the tabs below and sharing this page with your friends and family.

This is Colin, one of our awesome waste collection drivers, if you would like to download some colouring and activity sheets see below.
