Junior Recycling Officer resources

JRO Programme 2023

 

The hunt for the next Junior Recycling Officer of the year is now under way! All you have to do to register, is nominate two students from either years 5 or 6,  to run recycling activities in your school then submit your application on what you have been working on to the competition in April / May 2023. This year’s theme is upcycling.

You will be supported by a dedicated waste education officer who can come to your school and help with assemblies and other events.

Your school’s children will be gifted with books specifically designed for children in Cheshire East and your school will have the opportunity to win a visit from our mobile classroom!

Finalists will be invited to showcase their work at a special event in June 2023. Date and venue to be confirmed.

To register and be kept up to date on the competition, please contact Laura on 07971 763649 or email Laura.Demircan@ansa.co.uk.
