Come and find out about the past, present and future of waste in Devon!
PLEASE NOTE: THIS EVENT HAS NOW BEEN FULLY BOOKED.
Immerse yourself in our exclusive, new History of Waste timeline, find out all about what happens to your waste in Devon from local experts from Devon County Council and discuss what the future should look like.
This tour lasts about 2 hours and includes refreshments in our Education Room, a talk about the current waste picture and a presentation about the Energy from Waste Plant in Exeter, followed by a tour of the control room and viewing platform. There’s plenty of room for questions throughout the morning, whether it’s that thing you’ve always wanted to know about waste and recycling or a query that comes to you when viewing what happens to our rubbish! We’ll finish with a go on our Grabber Game.
