PLEASE NOTE: Due to coronavirus, and the unprecedented impact the virus is having on all our lives, educational visits to the Leeds RERF are temporarily suspended
Education and waste awareness
Leeds City Council in partnership with Veolia Environmental Services (VES) provides educational tours and visits to the state-of-the-art Recycling and Energy Recovery Facility (RERF) at Cross Green, Leeds.
In the purpose-built Visitor Centre Veolia provide education about recycling and information about how to reduce your waste. They offer schools and higher education students a waste education programme focusing on waste minimisation and recycling activities. Veolia’s Education and Communications Manager, in partnership
with Leeds City Council waste advisors, provide advice on reducing, reusing and recycling school waste and waste at home or in offices. We offer group tours for approximately two hours at the RERF Facility.
