West Byfleet Junior School said that should they win they will use the money to reclaim an outdoor area that has fallen into disuse so that it can be used for growing vegetables.
Rethink Waste has already awarded £17,000 to Surrey primary schools with residents donating points to school almost 10,000 times since the scheme launched. The most recent phase of schools donations saw two schools in Guildford and one each in Merstham, Bagshot and Tadworth awarded funds to, among other projects, build a new home for school guinea pigs, install a green roof and build a bug hotel.
Rethink Waste is Surrey’s movement to reduce what we waste that is being delivered by the Surrey Environment Partnership, of which Woking Borough Council is a member. Nearly 10,000 households across the county have signed up so far, completing nearly 120,000 activities. As well as donating to schools, members have been using their points to enter prize draws and give to charities.
