Education Centre Revamped at Southport Eco Centre

MRWAâs chairperson Cllr Joe DeAsha and chief executive, Carl Beer view the new ârevampâ of the wall in Southportâs Eco Centre 26 June 2012 Funding from Merseyside Recycling and Waste Authority (MRWA) has been used to make improvements to part of Southport Eco Centre's education facilities. According to the MRWA the popular education facility, based in Sefton Council's Eco Centre in Southport, now includes a newly designed ' recycling and waste prevention' wall filled with facts and figures. The new wall is the result of a partnership between MRWA, Sefton Council and the Eco Centre who are aiming raise awareness of 'green' issues including waste prevention and recycling as part of their teaching programmes and visits. The MRWA said that the design of new wall reflects the resources in both the Authority's Recycling Discovery Centres in Liverpool and the Wirral. The revamp is part of a range of activities being undertaken by MRWA to provide information at outreach facilities and centres across Merseyside on a variety of waste prevention and recycling messages. The authority said that other activities include attendance at festivals and events across the summer promoting the 'Love Food Hate Waste' campaign and the launch of the 'Junk the Junk Mail' initiative at 64 public venues across the region. "The programme of activities that we're undertaking is reaching out to communities and individuals with waste prevention and recycling messages and information, explained Carl Beer, MRWA chief executive.
