Talks and Education Individuals

Everyone is welcome to access our range of video talks. Although we ask schools and community groups to book viewings in advance (so we can get an idea of the size of the audience and offer additional support and resources if necessary), if you are an individual looking to learn more about waste and recycling in Leicestershire you can access online materials here. We periodically add more talks so please do check back now and again.
