Reduce waste and get rewards

Rethink Waste is a free scheme available to anyone living in Surrey Heath that offers a range of rewards for reducing waste.

Sign up online and access a personalised dashboard that you can use to access relevant activities and resources and monitor your progress. Once signed up, you will receive weekly emails, which will include an array of locally relevant, engaging and gamified activities such as pledges, videos and quizzes, designed to help you make small, yet impactful lifestyle changes.

By taking part and engaging with content you receive points, which can be used to enter competitions for exciting prizes like iPads and TVs, make donations to charities or local community groups, or support local schools. Schools that take part could be in line to receive funding from the scheme to run an environmental project benefiting the school and its pupils.

Waste reduction is a key way that you can help the planet as it means fewer resources are used up when creating new products.

Rethink Waste is being delivered by Surrey Environment Partnership (SEP), of which Surrey Heath Borough Council is a member, in collaboration with Greenredeem, an organisation that provides digital engagement platforms to provoke environmental behaviour change. Residents can take part in Rethink Waste now by signing up online via the Greenredeem website.
