It is designed to provide opportunities for the re-use and redesign of our waste products with an education centre and drop off and collection points for discarded building materials and garden compost amongst other innovations.It is aimed at transforming the way we view our waste and the measures we take to deal with it; something we should all be urgently aware of as problems of landfill and recycling continue to grow.The presentation will be followed by Lincoln Envirotown’s AGM – people are welcome to remain for the AGM if they wish, and light refreshments will be enjoyed at the end of the evening.Our SponsorsA big thank you to our wonderful sponsors!We extend our sincere appreciation to all our sponsors, Rata Foundation, Selwyn District Council, COGS, Lottery Community and Lincoln University.
