Waste Prevention

This is a Pillar in Phase 2 of the Greening Campaign.

This new programme will encourage residents in your community to prevent waste.  Rather than recycling waste, this Pillar focusses on how we actually stop waste occurring in the first place.

The Hampshire County Council Waste Prevention Team are supporting the Greening Campaign to deliver this programme to 20 communities in Hampshire.

When we look at the waste hierarchy we begin to understand the difference between actions to deal with waste that has already been generated, and actions which prevent it from occurring in the first place.  The activities you will undertake will support your community in making changes in a fun and interactive way and will include training of two volunteers from the Hampshire County Council Waste Prevention Team.

The Greening Campaign will support you to set up some activities such as Nappy Libraries, or Repair Cafe.
