Green Connect helps schools, events and organisations to be more sustainable and reduce waste to landfill, with the aim of producing zero waste.
We have been working with event organisers, schools, councils and businesses since 2011. Our Zero Waste team are experienced in undertaking waste audits and creating waste management plans, providing waste education and assisting events on their journey towards zero waste. We reduce, reuse, recycle and compost as much as possible.
