EDUCATION CENTRE

The Waste Education Centre at Donarbon’s Waste Management Park in Waterbeach, is open to anybody from the Cambridgeshire community who is interested in finding out more about what happens to their waste. We welcome visits from schools and colleges, special interest groups, local businesses and the general public.



Activities and workshops for schools and colleges

Schools can book visits with activities linked to themes such as waste minimisation, recycling and composting or linked to National Curriculum subjects such as Citizenship, Geography, Science and Design and Technology.

Where does all our rubbish go? Site tour.
Find out what happens after the bin lorry leaves your street? See, hear and smell the activities involved with dealing with all our rubbish. Visit the composting operations, the recycling areas, the landfill site and the new MBT plant.
