Welcome
Welcome to the Wastebuster Website
You’ll notice that you’re in a rubbish bin.
Feel free to rummage around and use as much or as little as you like!
Wastebuster can encourage your children to minimise their waste, to carry their learning out of the classroom and into the home, the community and the wider world.
Wastebuster is a video rich, multimedia teaching resource with cross-curricular films, practical activities and resources to make Wastebusting an exciting part of your curriculum.
Wastebuster also provides child focused schemes of work that count towards all levels of Eco-Schools accreditation.
This means that by joining Busta and Pong on their waste busting mission you can help your school wave the Bronze, Silver and even Green Eco-Schools Flags. Tremendous.
Dive in the bin and get your hands dirty.
