SCHOOLCHILDREN are being taught the importance of kerbside recycling at an environmental education centre near Stourport.
The Bishops Wood Centre, Crossway Green, is in the grounds of a National Grid Transco electricity substation and is one of 12 centres in the country set up to help promote household recycling.
Green Street contains mock-up houses, shops and bottle banks and children are able to sort through the type of rubbish thrown away by typical household to decide what can be reused, repaired or recycled.
Head of the Bishops Wood Centre, John Rhymer, said: "We use Green Street to introduce children to kerbside recycling. Green Street teaches children how different types of household waste can be put to good use."
The project was funded by the waste minimisation department of Worcestershire County Council and constructed by county-based sign writer, Pete Cassidy.
