Merseyside Recycling & Waste Authority (MRWA) Community Project

The Eco-committee took part in a number of workshops during the February Breakout day delivered by the MRWA and Cheetham Hill construction. Students learnt the need for the new waste site at Burtonhead Road in St Helens and discussed the environmental impact and construction of the project.

They also looked at waste management as a career by discussing opportunities across the industry. They were shown what it is like working in the construction industry and discussed health, safety and wellbeing issues.

For the rest of the day students worked with local artist Bernadette Hughes, Mr Kelly and Mrs Clayton to create a mosaic to display at the site with the words "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle”. They also created bird boxes with Mr Ditchfield and Mr Brooks which will be used at the new waste site.
