Waste reduction volunteers

As part of our waste minimisation campaign, we have set up an in-house Waste Reduction Programme. This involves volunteers going out into the community and schools and helping residents understand the importance of recycling, reducing food waste and also encouraging more composting.

Our current team of Cheshire East Waste Reduction Volunteers (CEWRVs) have a range of knowledge and skills that they are eager to share. We are looking for more volunteers to join this fabulous team. 

If you would like to be part of this excellent and rewarding scheme or to find out more, contact Alison Jenkins, Communications Co-ordinator at TeamRecycling@cheshireeast.gov.uk or call 07971 367271
