West Sussex County Council Spokesman
The Wastebuster programme has been popular with Surrey schools, providing them with resources and support to increase their recycling in school and work towards eco-school awards.

The Wastebuster project is brilliant…it’s a great way for kids to start to tackle their own sustainability. Andrew Suter, Education Project Manager, Eco-Schools
Wastebuster is helping in the generation of a very positive social norm around pro-environmental waste behaviours.
Although schools represent only a small percentage of the waste generation in this country, they house 100% of tomorrow's population - making the knowledge, values and skills they adopt today, essential for a sustainable future.
