CREW runs fun, interactive training days and workshops which provides people with the tools, knowledge and resources to reduce waste - for free.

Crew workshopWho will we deliver workshops to?

Pretty much any community organisation or group including:

• Community councils
• Rotary clubs
• Church or other religious groups
• Parent and toddler groups
• Cub scouts, guides, brownies
• After schools clubs
• Student groups
• Places of work.

What would a workshop involve?

Our workshops are all focused on the issue of waste prevention and can include topics ranging from general information on Scotland's waste through to tackling plastic bag waste and junk mail. Each workshop includes some interactive activities, such as:

• Living with Landfill, Wall-E and Message in The Waves DVDs
• 'SlimYour Bin' - a fun team activity where delegates carry out a “virtual” shop
• Waste problem and solution card games
• Creative activities - reusing everyday materials to create mini plantpots, funky envelopes and Tetra Pak wallets.

A range of information leaflets are also available at each event.

You can download some of our CREW materials in our resources section.

How long does a workshop last?

This all depends on the group. We can tailor workshops to be the length you need them to be but generally they usually last for approximately one hour.

We can also give you advice on organising a community event for your group, such as a packaging action day, or a swap your stuff day.
