Waste Savvy Staffs logo

Waste Savvy Staffs is a campaign run by the County Council to encourage residents to reduce, reuse and recycle more across Staffordshire. To reach as many people as possible they are looking for the help of volunteers to spread the message and encourage local communities to waste less.

Volunteers will be provided with free training on recycling, food waste reduction and composting in particular, but will also be made aware of other sustainable waste schemes like repair cafes. They will also be working towards setting up community fridges in the county to encourage the sharing of unwanted or surplus food and drink.

Volunteers do not need to have had any prior experience of waste or public engagement, only need to commit to a minimum of 30 hours of volunteering over the year and can be reimbursed for any travel costs. The only requirements are that individuals live in, or near, Staffordshire, are comfortable talking to people and are passionate about supporting their community to reduce the impact that poorly disposed waste has on our environment.
