Tanbridge students visit depot

Horsham District Council’s Waste and Recycling team played host to students from Tanbridge House School on Wednesday 13 November at their Hop Oast depot in Worthing Road, Horsham.

The students enjoyed a presentation about how the Council carries out its waste and recycling collections and how this has helped to make Horsham District one of the most successful areas in Sussex for recycling.

They then went on to have a tour of the depot with the chance to “operate” one of the Council’s new waste collection trucks.

The Year 8 students are studying waste and recycling as part of their Geography studies and after their visit to the Hop Oast collection depot were then going on to Biffa’s Mechanical Biological Treatment Facility in north Horsham.

The Council is happy to hear from other educational organisations who would like to learn more about waste and recycling.
