VERWOODIANS ON WASTE WELCOMES YOU

Providing practical solutions and inspiration to reduce waste

Our first Eco Christmas Tree Festival, held at St Michael's church went extremely well. We are SO grateful to Verwood Solar farm for funding the event. See our "events" section for future planet saving activities.

 

Reduce. Reuse. Inspire.
We are a group of local people who are are concerned about the global problem of plastic use and the effects on our health, planet and the future of our children. Our aim is to inspire and facilitate others to reduce their plastic use and waste. We aim to share tips and information which will help us all reduce our global footprint and take the confusion out of recycling through raising public awareness.
