We offer free recycling and sustainability education sessions to kindergartens, primary schools and secondary schools in Monash.
Sessions run for 30 to 60 minutes and include quizzes, hands-on activities and educational resources for students and teachers.
Our educators can also:

We are taking bookings for the 2026 school year. Places are limited each term so we recommend booking early.
