Education - School Visits to Amgen Cymru

In partnership with Rhondda Cynon Taff Waste Services we are actively seeking schools to participate in our site school visits. During the visit the children and staff are introduced to concepts of waste reduction and recycling. They also get the opportunity to see these in practice.

Education Centre
In the education centre the children are given a presentation on the importance of recycling and shown a video of the MRF line in operation.

This part of the tour is conducted by a representative from Rhondda Cynon Taf Council. The children are then shown a video on can recycling and are asked to participate in an electronic quiz. Recently the education centre has been updated with an interactive whiteboard which helps encourages the children to get involves.

Landfill Safari
The children are then taken on a landfill safari where they are shown firsthand what a landfill site looks like and how it is run. Whilst on the landfill safari the children are also taken to the composting sheds where the composting process is explained to them. This also includes a brief visit to the recycling centre.

Walk About
The walk around includes a walk to the weighbridge where the children are shown how the weighbridge works. They are then shown the reception area and MRF and the process in which all the recycling goes through is described to them.

Please ensure that your pupils wear old clothes and appropriate foot wear, as there may be muddy conditions.

NB When booking a visit please provide a contact name and number. During adverse conditions we may have to cancel but will do our best to rebook at the most convenient date to all concerned.
