Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services

Tender description

Devon County Council has one of the highest recycling rates of the shire counties in England. Whilst it continues to drive recycling rates up, Devon County Council also recognises the greater need to reduce household waste now and in the future. Educating children and the wider community is an essential part of the County Council's long term strategy to achieving a more sustainable future, with an increasing emphasis on waste minimisation, resource management and a greater awareness of the issues surrounding consumerism. Devon County Council has an established and well developed waste education programme providing assemblies, workshops, site visits and events for both Primary and Secondary schools.
